CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

This evening I organised a photoshoot for the official test of the European Le Mans Series at the Circuit Paul Ricard with 27 of the 42 full season entries lined up on the grid.  After my photographer got a great shot of the cars from a high position (see image HERE ) the cars were pushed back to the garages.   As I walked back to the press office I saw this shot on the grid and was drawn to the skid marks and the fact that the grid number was '14'.  I decided to capture the image from a low point using the X-Pro1 and 18mm f2 lens. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY CLICKING THE GOOGLE ADVERTS It doesn't cost you anything to click on an advert but we get a small fee for every click thru from Google and this helps support this blog - thank you for helping --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

I love photographing patterns; whether they are clouds in the sky, buildings, layers in rocks or marks on the ground.  Take these tyre marks on the outside of the first corner at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.  I spotted these during my track inspection on Thursday, this is where I get to look at the photographers facilities and where the danger zones are.  As I'd never been to the Red Bull Ring before it is also a chance to get to know the track, the different corners and the general lay of the land. Anyway I stopped to take a shot of the tyre tracks left by cars doing donuts as I liked the patterns that had been left on the tarmac.  The image was taken on the Fuji X100  and on the WCL-X100 wide angle converter. Image taken on a Fujifilm Finepix X100 and 19mm f2 lens ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY CLICKING THE GOOG...
