Porsche Motorsport Pit

This shot is of the Porsche Motorsport gantry in the FIA WEC pitlane and it carries the air hoses for the wheel guns for the pitstop crew.  Each gantry has the name of the team and number of the car so the drivers know where their pit box is located.

This was taken on Saturday morning at Paul Ricard while the track was still fogged in and the moisture in the air left lots of water drops on the sign and on the gantry boom.

The second shot was taken as the Porsche engineers prepared the car for the start of the four hour morning test session.

The two images were taken on the Fuji X100 with the WCL-X100 wide angle converter fitted to the standard 23mm f2 lens, making the lens a 19mm f2 or 28mm equivalent angle of view on a full frame camera.

The shots were converted to black and white using Silver Efex Pro 2 software in Photoshop Elements 11.
