CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

It may be a bit of a photography cliche but I love Robins ( Erithacus rubecula)  foraging for food in the snow. It is the stuff of Christmas cards! We have a bird table in the garden which we have kept stock up with seed over the winter.  With the recent winter storms lashing the UK we have had plenty of our feathered friends in the garden looking for something to eat. I set up the camera in the house over looking the garden and waited for a Robin to appear in the right spot and I didn't have to wait for long.  I used the Fujifilm X-H1 fitted with the XF100-400mm f4.5/5.6 plus the 1.4x converter to give me some extra pulling power.

The most iconic landmark on the circuit is the observation tower, which stands 251 feet / 77 metres above the track and gives a panoramic view of the circuit and the Texas countryside.  At Turn 10 on the track the cars crest a small rise in the track and by moving down the fenceline you can place the top of the tower in the shot behind the car.   The image at the top of the page was taken during Free Practice 3 at 10h30 on Friday morning, while the shot below was taken at the same point but at 17h15 on Thursday afternoon during Free Practice 2.   no51 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE - Alessandro Pier Guidi / no36 Signatech Alpin...

Yesterday Fujifilm posted the first of a series of features on shooting sports from the spectator areas and how to get great images without the luxury of a media pass.   The first feature is on rugby which I shot at the Scottish RugbyBT East Region League 1 fixture between North Berwick and Ross High and followed it the next day with the Aviva Premiership match between Sale Sharks and Wasps . I didn't post any images from the North Berwick encounter because I was waiting for the feature to be published, so I have decided to post some of the highlights from the match that saw North Berwick beat Ross High 60 points to 3.
