post some of your first ever motorsport shots

Knickerbrooks been called that since 1954. Apparantly a popular place for courting couples, and some workmen found some knickers in a brook.


Just as well they're not choosing the name now, Condom Corner doesn't have quite the same ring to it :naughty:
 
Taken in 2004 using an UZI .. I beleive it to be the first ever 10 times optical zoom camera.. Olympous c2100uz ..Proper digital camera that was :) All pics probably tasken in sports mode....oh how embarresing :)

Can't post my first ever as it was in my old (very old!) film days

I shot quite a few single seater cars at Thruxton one day, and only later saw one of the names on the side said Damon Hill

Pah - I thought - living off your dad's name, you'll come to nought

:LOL:

Yeah at Oulton Park. He lost it at, what is now known as knickerbrook. his accident resulted in the chicane being installed to slow drivers down so this didnt happen again. Also Warwick Bridge is named in his honour :)

Apparently one of the wishbones broke.
 
:clap::clap: What a wicked thread, some great pictures and some quality C + C .

here is one from my first experience of using a digital camera. From 2004 Wales rally GB. I loaned the camera from my dad for the day. I took about 10 photo's and gave up for the weekend.

Come-on folks, I am sure there have been some nice additions since 27th Sept. :shrug:
 
OK, as it is the end of the season, here is my first use of a digital camera, a 2.2M pixel Kodak. Taken at the 2002 Brazilian GP at Sao Paulo.

From our 2001 race season, photos either with Olympus digital compact with shutter lag you used a diary to measure, or my EOS650 35mm SLR with 70-210mm lens.
 
That was the last time I went to Oulton before this summer. Looking at the shots I haven't improved much! I remember this trip well - it was the first race with our 'hot' race engine - we outqualified our main rival for the first time, and he was so annoyed he pushed us off the circuit into a gravel trap!

That was kind of him lol.

Anymore from Oulton?
 
thread title needs changing to "post your first, and latest"; at the moment thats what everybody seems to be doing for some unknown reason..... :shrug:
 
...Olympus digital compact with shutter lag you used a diary to measure.. andrewc

Sounds like the Kodak digital snapshot camera I had first. Panning on F1 cars was pure guesswork!

Here's two shots from the World Series by Renault earlier this year. It was my first ever motorsport event... and needless to say I'm now hooked! :D
