Joe M said:You've got some nice shots there. I've yet to get to an F1 race and though Montreal is pretty much within driving distance for me, my goal is to get to Monaco in the near future. If Montreal is crowded, I can only imagine the wall to wall I'll face in Monaco. Anyway, not to turn this into about me looking forward to taking some shots of my own, I appreciate you posting these and I hope you spent some time enjoying the race too instead of looking through the lens. And the Massa/Perez crash was massive on television so in person it must have been gut wrenching. Amazing how these fellas walk away relatively unscathed in comparison to the size of the crash. Again though, thanks for posting these.
Thanks, this year I only brought the camera for practice and qualification. As I said before, there was more people than usual and, although I would have loved to photograph the race, I think I would have made some of my neoighbours unhappy I kept bringning my lens in their face during the race. So I fully appreciated the race. The place I usually shoot is at the foot of the stand I have tickets for. However this year they raised the fence about a foot at the exit of turn 2 and placed two very nice telecom antenna about a third and two third of the field of view. That was a big disappointment.
As for you going to a GP, Montreal is the only one I ever attended, but I think it is really nice and probably the one you can see for the lowest cost. I would not be surprised if general admission to Monaco was the same price as some of the best seats from Montreal. Of course, Montreal does not give all the glamour that European GP provide I guess. Wathever you do, I'm sure you'll be happy! These races are very nice to see live.
