It's been nearly 10 years since I last shot motorsport, and that was touring cars... I'm a better photographer than I was 10 years ago (I hope!!) But bloody hell this was hard, but incredibly enjoyable.
No work this week as I'm inbetween job roles and I needed a good bit of time to re-charge and chill out. So the camera is getting a bit of a hammering but with stuff that I don't shoot that often.. So a day out at Cadwell Park ciruit with @bbphotography was in order.
Now I appreciate that these may be a bit samey, but I only went to 2 locations as the day was as much as a social as it was a photography challenge!!
My panning skills need some improvement that is for sure.... That's a skill in itself, and given the fact that I shake like a shitting dog at times, its a fine line between keeping the shutter open enough for the movement blur and getting everything blurry.... resulting in an image in the recycle bin!!
I took 2100 images yesterday, speedshooting on the r6 is pretty rapid... After a late night of weeding the wheat from the chaff I've given myself nearly 200 images I'll look to work with.
As for the people (idiots) that ride these things, I'm not sure wether to think theyre absolute nutters, or very clever people holding it together on there... maybe a mixture of the both.
One things for sure, you wont see me on one anytime soon...... no thank you..
