HSCC Brands Hatch...June 4th!

[Dave_G]

Again, boredom has made me plough through my arse-chive of images and I've come up with these efforts.

June was years ago but it was a great meeting with all sorts of old motors smoking about the place so I thought I'd share some. It's also winter now so this is a reminder of what we have to look forward to in a few months from now.

As usual.......20D, Sigma 70-200, Sigma 120-300.

Hope you like.

Even though it's cack I quite like it.

[Dave_G]

Any bad shots?

Always one or two I like to forget SOme of the ones below aren't all that to be fair mate, and a bit of a pan-fest!!!

Gary...curse that fence at Druids, robbing my sharpness and contrast

Bardon

 

[Warspite]

More great shots, like the Silk Cut Jaguar - great angle showing off its beautiful lines, others are very good to

 

[Gary]

and thank god they are now back! (well kinda)

thats not my photo by the way

 

[Joe T]

Up to your usual standard mate!

 

[Weggy]

I'm a proper newbie to all this, so this may be dim, but how did you get such close up shots with a 300mm lens? Or are they just cropped in good old PS?

Also, where can you get clear shots at Brands? I remember it as having a wire fence around the entire perimeter?

 

[Dave_G]

through the fence at the top of druids you can get away with about 300mm, but realistically if you want to zoom past the jurassic park style fence you'll need 400mm.

most of brands is accessible from the public areas as long as you have 300mm +

some of them are cropped but not in the way you may think, I hardly ever crop stuff and if I do it's usually to tidy them up - like crop out stray marshalls arses and that, or to straighten up the horizons.

 

[Weggy]

Thanks for that Dave.

Are they funny about photographers there, or will an amateur be ok to just turn up and shoot?

 

[Dave_G]

75% of the people there have cameras, I wouldn't worry.

 

[Matt]

yeah brands is good for photos, inside of druids is great.

nice photos dave, cant wait for the season to start!
