My BTCC photos

Post by djoptix »

Hello chaps,

On Sunday I went to the BTCC at Oulton Park and thought I'd share my pictures. They're saved on Facebook but you don't have to be a member to view them. Just click here for the main pictures from the day:

And click here to see the recovery of Jim Pocklington's car:

Hope you like :)

They were taken on a Fuji S5600, Fuji's base model compact-with-decent-lens camera, which I bought the other day on Ebay for £76 including postage and a 2gb XD card. I just used auto ISO/shutter speed mode on the day, holding the focus from where I planned to take the picture and then panning with the cars. It's the first time I've tried taking car photos - next time I'll try and use a longer shutter speed to get more of a sense of movement.
