[Leica] IMGs : August 14th Leinster Trophy, Mondello Park

[Douglas Barry]

Thanks Nathan - people and paddock shots, it'll be in the future.

In truth, I would have been a long time waiting to catch my friend 
Brendan going sideways on opposite lock as you can see from his in-car 
video of the race. Here is a link below, but skip to 5 mins in to see 
the start where he ends up in the lead. The eventual winner in his 
Sunbeam Tiger with 550 horse power makes a mess of it, but then roars 
past Brendan a couple of laps later at 9:49. Brendan does have a slight 
moment at around 13:19 which would have been the time to get an action 
photo of him, but I was located three or four corners away. Let's face 
it, these cars are faster not going sideways, so I'd have to bribe him 
to do it in front of my camera - should I find a good place that's not 
draped in catch fencing and not miles away!

Because I was with a friend of mine who was racing, I had access to the paddodck and pits. However, because of the hyper safety concerns these days, decent photographic opportunities were restricted. Hopefully, I'll get myself a media pass for next season, so should get closer to the action. In the interim, I was restricted to using a lens that fitted through the narrow gaps in the catch fencing, couldn't pan, and ended up having to crop every action image mercilessly. I really should have just concentrated on paddock and people shots.
