Hi Matt.
Nice series, as others have said, nice panning on the first shot, nice try panning at 1/6th sec on the open wheel cars! ;D
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Roo.
For a long time I have wanted to try the classic light trails shot, and every time I get close I think about the huge angry bloke that after screeching to a stop gets out of his car and walks over and knocks my block off! :-\
Same problem practicing panning on the street, plus the motorways are fenced off and closed to pedestrians. I guess if you happen to know the owner of some farmland that backs on to the motorway you could do it from there!
Cheers, Graham.

Some amazing shots recently, I especially love the slow shutter/panning as well.
I have the F1 at Yas Island next month (can't wait) and it's not long until our 24 hour race at the Dubai Autodrome (January), looking forward to any future posts in this thread, it's going really well

Interesting Graham. It's not a problem I've encountered here. Our freeways are not generally pedestrian accessible but they do have regular rest stop areas and there are overpasses that can be shot from. I'll even practice panning while doing street photography in the city

Hi Roo.
Our little island doesn't have a motorway, a half mile of dual carriageway is the nearest we get and that is often near stationary during daylight hours.
I'm guessing that being in a city is the difference, in a city a camera may be fairly common especially in touristy areas, although I live in a tourist area it is very rural and a camera at the side of the road is and would be seen as unusual and possibly an infringement on the subjects privacy even though there is theoretically no expectation of privacy in a public place.
Of course the biggest problem here might be my perception of the situation and nothing more? :-\ ???
Also I think the presence of flash photography by the side of a road at night doing second shutter light trails might be frowned upon (at the very least) by the police.
Cheers, Graham.

While there are some bridges over roads round here, there has been too many instances of blocks of concrete being thrown at vehicles for me to get more than a few shots before being arrested. Same problem prohibits the classic light trails shots too.
Hoping to have some time off work in the next week or two and some end of season testing to shoot, would get a bit more variety of vehicles too.

Here in Denmark, the car of a German family was hit by two 30kg (66lbs) concrete slabs and two cobblestones of 10kg in August, thrown from a motorway bridge. The 33yo mother died shortly after, the 36yo father was in a (medically induced) coma for about a month, and their 5yo son was lucky to escape with superficial damages.
Fortunately the police force can still tell the difference between concrete slabs and photo gear.

Well that's the F1 season over with for another year, and what an ending! A new world champion, a retirement, rumours, doughnuts, aerobatics, 2 legends leaving us; and of course the tyre testing in the days that followed.
It was a great Grand Prix this year and I for one was totally in favour of the tactics that have been damned by some, it made for a tense race!!
I'll add a few images over the next few threads, I hope you enjoy them
