2015 FIA Awards Gala at Le Lido de Paris
A couple of weeks ago, on Friday 4 December, I attended the 2015 FIA Awards Gala at Le Lido in Paris in my capacity as the FIA Media Delegate of the World Endurance Championship. This is the end of year show where all of the world champions receive their trophies in front of the great and the good of motorsport. I wasn't attending as a photographer but as a guest but I decided to take the X-T1 and 16-55mm f2.8 to get some shots of the WEC drivers receiving their trophies and also some of the show. Our table was on the upper tier but it wasn't a bad position to capture some images of the evening, though the occasional head would bob up into the shot. The stage show was from "Paris Merveilles" and was typical Parisian Cabaret, very colourful and flamboyant. The different acts took place in between the different awards and certainly made for a spectacular evening, with live swans and a water fountain on stage during the performances....
