Ah I lived there for about a year on and off in a little place called Burnfoot. Warm rain is the best!

Nice shot, do you do it just as a spectator or as pro / job?

 

I’ll have to post my Goodwood photos for your critique.

I go as track media, but it's not really a job. I own/shoot for excessive wear. We would like to turn it into a profitable business, but for now I do it for fun. I'd love to see them! Going to Goodwood is definitely a bucket list of mine.

I'm not a fan of drifting, but that there is one hell of a photo, very impressed 😎

I'd love to go a track day or motorsport event as media as the access you have in so much better.  The proble is I'd love to do it at a proper event (like Goodwood, 4hr or Silverstone, F1 etc.) which are all going to be really difficult ones to get media passes for.

 

I've done both the Revivial and the Festival of Speed and I can't recommend them enough if you're in to your cars.  If you're in to your newer cars then probably Festival of Speed but the whole experience of the Revival is unrivaled.

 

I'll have to dig out my FoS photos as I don't seem to have them to hand but a selection from last years Revival.

F1 is actually really hard to get into compared to others. Up until recently they were pretty closed off to outsiders other than simply watching the race. Social media was recently introduced and back stage camera work. This is all thanks to their new owner running the show. If you haven't watched it yet, there's a show on Netflix that dives in depth on a recent season of f1 that's a good watch. I wanna say they plan on doing it for every season and you really get to see what goes on backstage. This is part of their effort trying to get the sport out there into the modern world and to help it grow. 

 

Those are some solid shots! Goodwood is full of legendary cars new and old. One day I will absolutely make my way there at least once.

Im doing the festival of speed next year for first time, will definitely be taking the camera.

I did do the local hill climb in the summer and was gutted I missed one particular shot.

[Greboth 2,721]

I’ll keep an eye out for you then as I’m planning on going next year again.

 

If you’re taking your camera a few pointers;

- Get the stand pass with your ticket.  If you’re going for the full 4 day, being able to sit down is nice and they’ve got covers so even better if it’s raining.  They are also tiered so gives you some height to see over the barriers. 

- To that end, I’d recommend a long lens if you have one.  I think all my actual hill climb photos were with my 55-300mm lens.

 

Assuming it is the same as this year, the best places I found for photos was (starting at the bottom of the hill)

- On the inside of the corner opposite Hill Pavillion.

- In the Park Grandstands opposite the house or anywhere along the barrier up to the bridge.

- Molecombe corner grandstands.

- Anywhere after the flint wall as you walk up to the rally stage.

- You can get some nice shots up by the top paddock too as the cars park up there.  Plus all the rally car pits are up there to look around.

 

[Greboth 2,721]

So dug out my FoS photos 🙂 All in all, I took about 1,500 so whittled down quite a lot (though a good number were bursts so lots of repeats)

 

In no particular order as Flickr put them in a random order

I will resurrect this thread today too!!! I'm getting back into photography and wanted to share some new shots with my newly acquired FujiFilm XPro-3. Here a few that I like, all 12 that I deemed postable are in this album '21 Norwalk CT

[TurboR56Mini 967]

Ok so I'm back. La ( @RenFengge ) and I started walking around during her off workout days. This evening we wanted to enjoy the nice 65 degree (18.33 cubits or whatever) weather and decided to visit our neighboring town Greenwich. Now this is not the English version but it is the OG one here in the US. Like bought from natives (Siwanoy) for "25 English coats", (no shit, that's real) in 1640 with old, white, fuck you money types. To illustrate, on the way to park we passed not one but two Bentley Speed GT Verts, and not those poor people used ones, we are talking factory fresh, 15 cow interior brandy new ones. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Bentley man myself and I would 100% flash that big dick energy money if I had it. But alas I don't so we parked...next to a brand new BRG Bentayga...it's a neato way to buy a 250K  VW Touareg...

 

Anyway, our few mile walk produced some fun shots. I'm getting reacquainted with Lightroom and I'm enjoying the results. This little camera is a powerhouse, and I like shooting in 35mm equivalent prime with no chimping as the XPro-3's rear screen is a fold down which makes it harder. It's a real hard habit to break but needed. This makes you feel the shots more and when I get home to process, I get to see what I got. Harkens back to the film era and I like that. Since I can only upload one it seems, I made it this tasty E Type...in the mix we have a '55 Merc 300SL Gullwing, a Rolls, and a few other goodies. Click the link below to the full set of tonight's shots.

Here's a couple from @Diddums and our meet at Silverstone

 

[Diddums 4,346]

A little photo taken in the city. The white building in the background, with all the round windows, is where I work.

 

 

For perspective, this photo is of the same field, but taken from the rooftop of that building. The little gate in the middle at the back is where I took the above photo from. It was taken through glass sadly, and zoomed in quite a bit. The car show taking place is the London Concours, the ponciest, most pretentious car show in the world. The brown building on the right is the first building I looked after in London, and also the reason I have a 6" scar on the top of my head:

 

 

This is a 10 minute walk from our house:
