Photographing at Rockingham

Hello there!


I self appointed myself as our club's (TSSC) official race photographer for our monthly magazine - photographing several races from the sidelines and around the paddock last year and early this year.

We've finally been sucessful and been granted a media pass for Rockingham this Sunday, so I can get up close and get some proper shots for once.

So can anyone give me any tips as this will be my first time with a pass...? Where to get the good shots? My technique is pretty solid - I just need tips for actually moving about the circuit and how not to look too amateur

It's reasonably daunting - and I don't want to do anything foolish!


Regards,


James

Hi James. Can't help you with where to be on Sunday but though it worth mentioning that Sunday's events are on the "sports car" circuit configuration.

See you there

This may help. It was a previous thread on the same topic.

Use the lift to and from the ped'tunnel from the media centre-once you come out pitside-the world is your oyster! You can't fail to get good shots at the Rock'!!

Thanks!

I think I'm mainly apprehensive about the whole "going to the other side" - but Im sure I'll be fine once there! I'll just follow the other photographers in to begin with - and then wander off as not to upset them

Hopefully I'll have a few good shots to show you all Sunday eve!

I'll leave you with one from my amateur archive
