Hi,

anyone have any good suggestions for places to take pictures from for this weekends BTCC? And no I don't have media accreditation

In 2003 I was just there on the Sunday and spent most of my time at the hairpin between Lakeside and Hill Top, it was an OK location but my pictures were a bit pants, I was still quite new to my S2 then. Last year I parked myself at the approach to Cascades, my pictures were better than 2003 but not something I would be happy with now, too many pictures of the rears of the cars.

I visited the circuit a few weeks ago to do some testing of my D2X and lenses and stood on the inside of the track just down from Warwick Bridge. It might be a good spot, can reach the inside of the corner and zoom back to get the cars accelerating up the hill . . .

This year I will be at the circuit on Saturday and Sunday, on Saturday I'll be walking round the circuit looking for suitable positions as well as spending some time in the paddock. Ideally I would like a cuple of spots within 10 mins walking of each other to get a bit of variety in my shots.

So. . . . any suggestions ?

thanks in advance
