Silverstone Classic 2013


The Silverstone Classic always makes for a nice day out and this year was no exception, the weather held up nicely despite it raining the night before and rain being forecast.

I took the GXR A12-M with Heliar 15mm, Jupiter-11 135mm and the Leica Elmar 90mm lens with me although I used mostly the two longer lenses as you can see in the series here.

Silverstone Classic 2012


Went to Silverstone to see the Classic Car 2012 event, it was a great day and the first real day of summer. I took the GXR with Heliar 15mm and Leica 90mm lens along. People always say you can't do sports photography without having a dSLR and fast AF but the focus is at infinity anyway and the rest you just need some practice with panning shots which also work fine with using the screen.

It was great to see some 80s classics like the Countach, the F40, Testarossa, Porsche 911 and the Lotus Esprit. The races were also fun and very loud depending on the cars on the track.
