Here are a few shots from Trent Raceway 27th May 2012.

These are from one of my rare visits to the infield, it was quite dusty to say the least.

K5 + Sigma 18-250 OS HSM.

Some good images, I really like image number 4. I think I will have to try this event looks interesting.
You won't be able to photograph them at Sheffield as this was the one and only date of the 2012 season that they were there.

Regards,

Chris.

Here are 3 shotos from Trent Raceway 15th April 2012.

They certainly wouldn't win any prizes but I was in the right place at the right time.

All single shots.

K5 + Siggy 70-300 APO.

Here are a few BriSCA F2 and F2 Heritage Stockcars from Birmingham Wheels - 31st March.

These were taken either through or over the top of the safety fencing as the light dropped and the floodlights came on.

They are cropped quite tight because these have been sent off to a magazine.

ISO ranges from 200 to 12800.

K5 + Sigma 70-300 APO lens.

Hi,

I am looking for recommendations for some free online photo albums please.

My friend and I have set up a new website to cover Oval Racing in general to run along side our pure F1 and F2 Stock Car site.

We are looking for a free online photo album that will let you create seperate folders for different events and also allow you to link them to a website.

Regards, Chris.

Great shots Chris, as always. I have a question. Why do you choose shots with only one vehicle ? I thought they were racing. Or does this actually make for better photography in your experience.
It was a pre season open practice day so there wasn't any actual racing going on.

Drivers were setting their cars up or testing newly built cars ready for the start of the new season.

Sometimes there was only one car on track.

Regards, Chris.
