Just a few photos from a very busy week in Monaco :-

Bloody hell, those are cracking!

[Matt H]

Great pics - mega lens or press passes? (must be a mega lens because Bernie looks normal sized)!

[Andy M]

wow nice pics,what camera is that ? colours come out a bit funny on the honda though

[simon_j]

It's a Canon 400d with a Sigma 70-200 2.8 lens. No I haven't got press access (I wish!). Just a case of knowing where the drivers are and the best places to get close to the action without being stuck behind fences.

A few more :-

Crikey... roll on the day you have. Great stuff, well done.

[miniman]

Excellent stuff. The one with Massa passing within a gnat's cock of the armco - that does a great job of conveying the speed and precision of F1. Really great shots.

even if Nico is boss-eyed!

And that was the same corner where Raikkonen knocked off his front wheel on Saturday.

[touching cloth]

Superb

[Shadytree]

echo the other comments, really top notch photos there. Well done

Where were you for the 'above in the cockpit' views ?

[simon_j]

The shots from above were taken from grandstand L which is by the swimming pool. If you get there early enough on the Thursday you can get a seat at the edge of the stand looking down into the cockpits. The seats are numbered on Sat/Sun but they aren't on Thursday so you just need to get there early enough to get a good spot.

Any more pics Simon ?

[TonyHetherington]

Really ace shots

I'm so impressed you managed to get all them without a press pass!
