Hi tuliptree, would you send outside the UK?
I live in Barcelona (Spain).

Best regards,

Thanks all. No. 4 was one of my favourites too and it stood out as soon as I imported the thumbnails. I much prefer the slower shutter speed shots, but there's less confidence in nailing a good one consistently.
Me too. This is why they are so hard to do, but we have some help with a stabilizator in-body, so burst would always bring something interesting in.

Thanks Redfive, I was a bit lazy and stayed around the pit/paddock area for most of the day, as you don't normally get that sort of access during a GP. So most shots were from a highish angle above the garages. From Layinback's post above tt sound like there were at least three of us Pentaxians there
Your welcome!
Yes we are a few, probably a small few but some still do use Pentax for the matter.

Yeah I can imagine. I'he done a couple laps on the perimeter of the track layout and its exhausting, so I can understand your decission 100%

Love all these Redfive, especially No. 2 like other have said It's nice to see F1 in the softer evening light rather than the usual harsh mid day/afternoon sun when the GP's normal take place.
Thank you very much!
Yes it is indeed! Its so rare and that light brings so much differences...... just the regular harsh midday light doesn't offer us that chance. This is why I love shooting endurance racing

Hi again members,

I also wanted to share some images from the Winter Testing from last year (2019) from those Series. Specially because there is a very brave brit guy (or at least he was last year) competing there named Billy Monger whom I respect to the moon and back.

I hope you like the images, they where taken mostly with a Pentax K3 Silver Edition, Sigma 17-50mm f2.8, Sigma 100-300mm F4 lenses and some (last one I'll add) with a Pentax FA* 200mm f2.8 (not the best for sports thought). Oh! And a Pentax DA* 50-135mm f2.8 also!

This is a classic picture for me, at the exit of turn 5

*that is the image taken with the FA* 200mm f2.8

I forgot to mention I also use sometimes a Pentax F 1.7X TC that was probably used in the case of the first image as the TC sometimes turns images out a bit soft and I have seen that in that image at some point, then I thought maybe I was using it combined with the Sigma 100-300mm.

Best wishes,

Best wishes!

What a lovely set. I love # 2, almost abstract but yet captures the pace of the testing sessions at the same time. #9 is also a beauty.

Hi Phil, you know what? I better leave here that image (I have a set of them) I was telling you about from last year,

Thank you Phil
This is an image it took me years to take. I was trying for some time to do one of those shots from the grandstands. But then you get stuff in the way (fences, boxes.....) and promissed to myself that this would be the year I'll try to take a good one. I think it's been taken at 1/25th of a second and focus is on the right spot (driver) as I have some others nice but with the driver helmet covered by mechanics.

About #9 yes this light there at around 17.30h (5.30pm) or so is superb. I will share some image from last year taken at some other spot and the light was harder but also nicer. Yet I know by doing some 24h races that the light there at the chicane is normally very nice. And this is one kind of an image you can only take in Europe shooting F1 at the winter testing as they drive until hours they usually don't do.
