Rockingham was. . .

[David Stallard]

First time at Rockingham and to be honest - not that impressed, I know a large number of drivers didn't like it much and from a photography point of view - I struggled to find anything to get excited about (biggest challenge was getting a shot without 'Rockingham' in huge blue letters in the background or the rather fetching totally empty silver grandstands)

Saturday was scorchio maximo and Sunday was - damp to start getting soaked to the skin, then with waterproofs still on becoming 'boil in a bag David' ending the day with severe sunburn "awesome"

Few that were ok - 1dx, saturday was the 200-400 (trying to get my head around a monopod) and Sunday was the old faithful - handheld 70-200 with 1.4 extender (you know what - damned if I can see 6k difference)

#1 1/160, f/9, iso 100, 200mm where were we again?


#2 1/125, f/10, iso 100, 362mm 3 abreast over the rise (Rockingham I think)


#3 1/400, f/4.5, iso 100, 280mm did I mention it was damp for a while?


#4 1/500, f/5, iso 100, 265mm Green flag lap - grabbed the group shot whilst I could


#5 1/250, f/5.6, iso 100, 98mm I may have been running out of ideas / angles by now


#6 1/100, f/14, iso 100, 98mm did come across this angle right at the end of the weekend - typical


It really was a struggle so I hope you find something to like.

Saturday

Sunday

Yes...Rockingham is an odd place. Been a couple of times, don't really want to go back....But you have got a couple of good'uns there mate. The last 2. Like # 5 alot. Very unlike you. You usually squirm at these kind of shots, and #6, is that just before they head back out on the straight. Very nice pan.

An excellent set David, particularly like the shot through the armco.

I'm liking the last 2 images David #5 is very different and #6 has great movement and sense of speed.

Nice set David, despite the conditions! That last one is a belter. Quite like the first too, with the blurred writing. What does it say again.....

Great work,

Re: Rockingham was. . .

I've been to Rockingham once as guest of Wix racing for the touring cars, can't think of a worse place to photograph though, have zero intrest in shooting there but looks like you've done really well, maybe I should reconsider!, especially like the last image.
