CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

Today I have spent the day working at the circuit ahead of the start of track action tomorrow, which will see cars on the 13.6km right up until midnight. Yesterday was the final day of scrutineering in the centre of Le Mans and I have edited some of my images from the event. The images were taken on the GFX50S with a GF32-64mm f4 lens or an X-T2 with a XF10-24mm f4 or XF50-140mm f2.8.  I tried to capture the festival atmosphere in the warm French summer sunshine in the Place de la Republique.

I am supplying  Fujifilm UK  an image a day for their social media feed for the eight days of the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans.   Today is the second day of Le Pesage, the two day scrutineering in the Place de la Republique in the centre of Le Mans.  The Porsche LMP1 team completed their administration and technical checks and today it was the turn of Toyota. I was on the photographers platform to take the standard team picture but afterwards I spotted the drivers giving autographs and posing for selfies with the fans.  I headed over and managed to catch Stephane Sarrazin posing with some Toyota fans using the Fujifilm GFX50S and GF32-64mm f4 lens. There will be more shots posted over the next seven days as we begin the countdown to the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans which starts on Saturday 17 June at 15h00 (CET). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BL...

For the next eight days I will be supplying Fujifilm UK an image a day for their social media feed from the 24 Hours of Le Mans.   Today is the first day of Le Pesage, the two day scrutineering in the Place de la Republique in the centre of Le Mans.  Once each team has completed all of the technical and administration checks they all gather for the official photograph. I joined the rest of the media on the photographers platform to get a ultra wide angle shot of the proceedings.  Using the Fujifilm X-T2 and the Samyang 8mm f2.8 fisheye I captured this shot from behind my fellow photographers, with Porsche's official photographer Jurgen Tap standing above everyone else to ensure he got the shot. There will be more shots posted over the next seven days as we begin the countdown to the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans which starts on Saturday 17 June at 15h00 (CET). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
