WEC 2016 - Silverstone

[LC2]

A few of my shots from this April's Silverstone round of the WEC

Still practising my panning shots - not "quite" nailed it yet :/

I know this is cropped wrongly, but I wanted to include the flying debris

Tim, who says #4 is 'cropped wrongly' ?

 

[LC2]

@minnnt Well conventionally you aim to give the cars some space to move into, whereas in #4 the space is behind them.
Worth it though, in my opinion, to get the debris into the shot too.

 

[minnnt]

What is this conventional thing you speak of?

 

[LC2]

Well, I can't find an authorative source for it, but my belief was that the general rule (made to be broken) was thus.

Screw convention mate, it's not 1950 anymore.

My pick would be #3, nice close racing which you've captured well. Just out of interest, what was the debris from in #4?

Cheers.

Screw convention mate, it's not 1950 anymore.

Although, strangely, I find images following a 'particular format' easier to look at. Sometimes, convention works - but, stepping aside from it has it's merit

 

[minnnt]

Depends on your mindset i guess.

 

[Mikesphotaes]

Where is this #4 ?

Not a number to be seen but enjoyed the last one!

 

[LC2]

Just out of interest, what was the debris from in #4?

I can't quite remember, but it was shortly after Hartley's crash at the loop, so it might have been debris from that being kicked up.

 

[Matt_B]

Number 4 for me.

Like the racing pan in #3
