Coningsby

Post by LTFT5 » Wed Mar 04, 2020 4:36 pm

Hi to all,
With the new boss telling me to take some hours back I spent an unexpected day at the fence.
I thought it would be a while before I got out again but I never look a gift horse in the mouth (whatever that means)
I tried some new locations for something a bit different but also wanted to capture some of the ground crew operations.
All taken on the 27th of February, out of respect for the ground crew faces have been hidden.

What did you say try switching it off then back on again.

Amazing what can be achieved by stepping more than 5 feet away from the car!

Great effort and some very rarely seen angles

Lovely stuff

I think in the first one I think the ground crew are saying " Oi! What are you doing in there?"

Hi Andy,

Some lovely angles in that collection. The last one for me though, with the front runner being lit and the trailing Typhoons in the shadow - works well!

Cheers,
Chris

Great set Andy, shot in great lighting. Whenever I get told to 'take some back', which is rare, it is always p*****g down with rain! :grr:
