Great piccies reliant,

Nice close up of #58..

I'd love to know how you got to the inside of the Mulsanne corner, is it a case of who you know ?

[reliant_fr]

It's a secret

seriously: as I'm French, I meet and spoke a lot with a man who check your tickets at Houx gate and like guys can go everywhere on the track, he take me at "Playstation" (First #58 pic) and "Mulsanne" (where the cars run at 3 metres)
Fantastic !!!

some other pics from here tomoroow

[murcielago]

Nothing special really...




More later. Also it was great having hospitality with the TVR guys.

I got on the other side of Mulsanne corner, still downloading piccies.

By standing on a hill, then having the additional height by standing on an upturned bin you can see without virtually any obstructions

We went through the forest for about 2 miles at 2.30am to get right up close to the Mulsanne straight. Tricky dodging the marshalls but was worth it when we got there, an amazing experience.

There were quite a few doing the same, most got caught and sent back.

Here are a few from the Second round of qualifying (Thursday)

Supraman, those are great !

For next year, I want to know where you were to get those - I didn't venture far on my first trip, but obviously there are places to be that I don't know about

[shadytree]

Yep , fantastic pics Supraman. Superb clarity and sharpness.
What gear are you using?

[m1xmag]

Fantastic pictures - such quality

Miseur with these photo's you are really spoiling us!

[anonymous-user]

They were with a Canon 300D and a Canon 100-400l IS Lens

They were taken at Mulsanne Corner. You can see over the fence normally. Upturn a Bin and you can get even higher

Almost the same as my gear. 10D and 100-400.
I guess you must have shot at 250/1 or quicker as the wheels are frozen.
I kept mine at 125 to capture motion blur, but of cause you lose some sharpness then.

My pics are here:

Good photos there. I filled up a 1 gb and 512mgb card. Around 500+ photos in all. Also took a load on my S1 IS Point & shoot.

I took mine on sport mode. Probably somewhere around 1/1600 to 1/2000 sec.

Was aware of the freezing of the wheels so took the speed down for the shots from the Grandstand.











And one of the Esses.

[Trackside]

A few of my favourites selected from the 614 pics I rattled off











Great race, great weekend. Nuff said!

Thank you Gents! PM me an email address and I'll send a copy over. I was quite chuffed with it too. It was obviously worth hanging over the the balcony on the Wednesday evening having spent most of the day getting soaked!
