That must be one hell of a sight (and feeling) as well.

I have a clip on my phone of a particularly great entry into that corner, but I don't seem able to share it here. :rolleyes: The sound of anti-lag is always immensely satisfying, but especially when the cars are so close and throwing the occasional rock at you as well!

Another spot I really like shooting at has got to be Eau Rouge. Tried takling pics there for the first time this year and was not disappointed. Catching the cars climbing up that hill, especially in the dry when they're giving it all is awesome. A shot of the car throwing sparks is a nice bonus.

I need to get myself to Spa (preferably for a GT event): I need to see Eau Rouge for myself!

Reading all that really hypes me up for when I'll (probably, accreditation is still pending) be at Raceway Venray in June for the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series. Can't wait to stand right next to the wall at an oval track when the pack blasts past me. Already did it as a spectator, it was awesome.

All I can tell you is that won't be disappointed. Whether you're there as a photographer or spectator, Spa is always worth a trip. Should you ever plan to apply for media accreditation, I suggest you consider the Creventic 24H Series (12H Spa-Francorchamps) and the International GT Open, where I will be this Sunday. If you just wanna watch some racing there, go and see the WEC race there. Proper good racing with reasonable ticket prices for such a big series. Though, tickets for the 12 hour race (that's split over two days) are almost dirt cheap compared to the amount of racing you get to watch on site.

Finally managed to get out and see this in person, snapped this while moving under the northern approach ramp to the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

I was shooting for perfectly centered, but this sort of conveys that uneasy "this is wrong" feeling I got seeing such a significant landmark just...gone.

Thank you for this. That is an amazing shot!

This is a true tragedy on many levels. But it will be replaced, and that will be amazing as well.

That first picture is amazing! How did you get that angle?

Thank you very much!

In all honesty, that was one of the most spontaneous pictures of that day. I just squatted down, tried to be as still as possible and simply took the picture. Took a look at it and was instantly pleased with it. A nice bonus is that the old pit lane is downhill, that helps produce a little bit more "dramatic" image. And you just can't beat Eau Rouge as a backdrop.

It's a great set, but that first picture is easily my favourite!

I went to the British Motocross Championship round at Canada Heights last month. First motocross I have seen for a couple of years and I always forget how much fun it is to spectate. Mixed day for pictures, but a few OK shots.

Thanks! 😁 It's so good, even Van Amersfoort Racing themselves liked the photo on Instagram, hehe.

The last photo of your set is easily my favourite. 👏🏻 Nice work!
 
My first ever oval race as a photographer is now done and dusted. And what can I say, it was an amazing experience. Already looking forward to the next one in 2025.

Ooh these are really nice as well! Great job!!!






Found another red squirrel today! Little guy was chilling, I'm not sure if he was exhausted from the heat but I got within 3ft and basically stuffed my lens in his face and he did not budge at all. I basically got too close for the minimum focus distance of my 200-500mm lens and I could have easily gone back inside and grabbed my macro lens instead but seeing as he didn't move or flinch at my presence I got a little concerned. Left some ice water out for him when I finished taking my shots and he was gone about 15 min later.

Thank you very much!

The pictures of that little fella are amazing as well. Looks like he was taking in the view from up there, haha. :D
 
made a mock up in GT7 (ok, i know it's an M4 but it does the job) for my road trip to Le Mans in my M5. Turned out pretty good.

Went to Brands Hatch last weekend for Super Touring Power 2. Didn't go mad with the camera (I had the missus with me!), but too many cool cars on track to not take some pictures...

Neat to see older cars get out and run!

Sadly there was quite a high rate of attrition (as there often is with classic racing cars!) and there was a pretty big smash on the Saturday afternoon, so several cars were withdrawn from racing on Sunday.

Absolutely loved seeing the Super Touring Primeras getting used properly though; lot of fond memories of those cars back in the day.

As always, nice shots! That Falcon must have been a pleasure to listen to. :)

There were a couple of V8 Supercars there and they sounded superb. Jake Hill was driving one of the three Super Touring Primera's and he was really gunning that, which I loved hearing out on the GP loop.

The orange Camaro was running in the support class and the driver was pushing that pretty hard, which looked and sounded excellent.

There was also a SHP V8 Eurocar...

...entered which I was expecting to sound excellent... but I think he had problems. It briefly sounded like a V8, then sounded like a V5-and-a-bit for the rest of the day.

So a while back I was mindlessly scrolling on Instagram, as one does nowadays, and saw an ad for a disposable camera lens:

the_one-1.jpg


Called the Pocket Dispo. It's a 28mm f/11 plastic lens that has that fuzziness and barrel distortion of those Kodak/Fuji pocket disposable cameras from the 80s and 90s lol

So I took some photos, slapped on some film emulation and got these:

...really cool mixture of rally and rallycross cars at the event, really hope it returns in 2026.
