The final meeting at Brands Hatch for 2004. Damp, misty and generally unpleasant. Did I mention a distinct lack of catering?

The European Endurance Racing Club meeting at Brands Hatch. Horrible weather but the first outing for my Canon EOS 1D MarkII. A variety of lenses used. Oh... and the last few shots are of the night race at the end of the day so don't go accusing me of getting the exposure way out OK? ;-)

The second day of the rallycross weekend at Brands Hatch. The weather wasn't nearly so nice as the Saturday. Overcast and dull which didn't make for good photography. Most of these shots were taken with the 10D and Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX. There were a couple take with the Canon 100-400L when the light briefly improved.

10D with Canon 100-400L or Sigma 120-300EX.

A wet and dark day... Thank God for the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX. Once again my favourite lens came to the rescue.

It rained nearly all day and got VERY dark towards the end. Thankfully the trusty Sigma f/2.8 did it's usual sterling work and kept me shooting 'til the end.

Sunshine and showers but great racing. Lenses used were the Tamron 28-75mm in the paddock and then the 100-400L and the Sigma 120-300mm trackside.

A selection of images from the event I've enjoyed least this year. The on-track action was fine. The great British public was something else entirely.

The second day of the EuroBOSS meeting. Much better weather and light.

A day of contrasts with bright sunshine in the morning and then torrential rain and very low light in the afternoon. Doesn't really make for easy photography. Shots are with Sigma 120-300, Canon 100-400, Canon 7-200 and Tamron 28-75.

The Revival Meeting at Goodwood is restricted to cars which raced during the circuit's time as an operational race track (1948-1966).

Lenses used were:
Sigma 120-300mm (most on-track images)
Canon 100-400mm (Bike shots and planes)
Canon 70-200mm (Panned shots)

Some (well a lot) of images from a really special days racing at the Oulton Park Gold Cup. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

I have to say that the Brands Hatch round of the BTCC was one of the most boring race events I've been to in a long time. Anyway, here are the pictures. Lenses used were the Canon 100-400L, the Sigma 120-300EX, the Canon 70-200L and the Tamron 28-75 round the paddock.

Landscape photography really isn't my thing but I'll post these pictures of what I consider to be the best circuit in the country anyway. The gradient you see in the shots is if anything understated. Cadwell used to feature in the British Hill Climb championship.

Taken at the BARC rallycross meeting at Lydden Hill circuit on 14th February 2004. Weather was great for rallycross; drizzle (when it wasn't raining), fog and loads and loads of mud. Not so good for photography though.
