On Saturday I went along to the Central Scotland Autograss Club event at Avonbridge to shoot the next feature in the series of Shooting Sport as a Spectator for Fujifilm UK and also shoot a series of images for an upcoming feature in a national newspaper. Because I was fulfilling two roles I signed on as media to shoot the newspaper images but shot all of the pictures and video I needed for the Fujifilm feature from the spectator areas.   However I did shoot a number of images from the inside of the track thanks to the media access granted by the club. Here are some action images taken from the inside of the oval track. All of the images were shot on a Fujifilm X-T2 with the exception of the main image at the top of the page, which was shot on an X-Pro2 and XF16-55mm f2.8 lens.  The two X-T2 bodies were fitted with an XF50-140mm f2.8 and a XF100-400mm f4.5/5.6 zoom lens.

22-year-old Christie Doran from Falkirk in Scotland is making her mark in the VAG Trophy this season but she is keen to try her hand at any form of motor sport should the opportunity arise.   On Saturday 29 July we traveled to Avonbridge in Stirlingshire to photograph and video her debut in the Class 6 section at the Central Scotland Autograss Club 'Jock Rankin Trophy' meeting. Using a pair of GoPros inside the car and a Fujifilm X-T2 for the external shots, we put together a short 90-second video of Christie in action on the short 400m dirt track oval in the Stirlingshire countryside. Not only did Christie get to grips with the machinery quickly, she won two of the three heats she competed in on her debut. I was also there to shoot the next feature in the series ' Shooting Sport as a Spectator' for Fujifilm UK, which is due to be published in the next couple of weeks.
