Motorsport Exhibition in the Streets of Rotterdam

[JonnyGLC]

I'll start with the main thing i went there to see!! The Formula 1.


Nico Rosberg's Williams F1:

Then the Midlands F1 team came out to play:

I'd just like to say that i've never heard anything so loud in my entire life. You can see from the shots how close i was to them, and they were going at speeds of excess of 150mph down the straight where i took the pictures. It literally rattled my eardrums!!

The F1 safety car also makes a bit of a roar, that came out and had a play too:

Next up was the A1 cars, going nice and fast again but not as loud as the F1's

Jos Verstappen showing off his skills in the wet weather:

Not too sure who this dude is, it had rabbani on his helmet though:

As well as the big monsters that were there, there were also some of these little fellas giving the course a shot too:

Comments are more than welcomed, it was a really good day!! First time i've done any motorsport photography too!

great shots... nice and sharp too

what lens were you using?

Canon 70-200 F/4 L

im just a beginner at photography, so im not being nasty when i say this but .

are any of those photos altered in Photoshop or whatever

because i just cant get my photos that sharp, even in perfect dayling with the light source behind me.

is this because im only using a pocket camera, or have you altered the pics at all ?

There is some USM applied, but the fact that they're so sharp i think is down to the 70-200 L and the quick focussing of the 20D
