On two wheels

[Chris Dodkin]

Here we go - BTCC action at Knockhill, and the crazier drivers were up on two wheels at the end of start/finish straight.

Taken from an extremely low viewpoint, downhill from the corner - Canon 1D and 300 f2.8L with Canon 2x extender

The actual race-day was spoiled by heavy rain - so everyone slowed down, and there was no more of the two wheeled stuff!

Excellent Chris. Love the heat haze.

 

[Chris Boice]

NICE photo!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Chris

I see you have the 300 2.8 as well - quite the investment - but one of the all time great lenses. IMHO

Thanks Pete - never ceases to amaze me how a frozen frame can reveal such detail - hidden in real time

Nice shot Chris. That's some lens--close-up of Knockhill from SD!

 

[Alastair Cummins]

Great shot of one of the greatest Touring Car racers there is. Ive never seen someone who can make a front wheel drive touring car look spectacular

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Brian - I used time travel to get this particular shot

Thanks Alastair - shooting BTCC was some of the best fun I've had on a photo job - a true contact sport, with some great drivers!
