This time of year is perfect for just a hint of spring, with the odd beam of sunshine and tons of Daffodils to add some extra depth and colour to the images.

This year I took myself off to a few new locations around the track to find the views the members would be getting from the grandstands and places they had access to around the track – and a few spots they don't! I was quite pleased with track photography this year, choosing to shoot with a slow shutter speed to track the cars and blur the backgrounds.

I took this principle a step further in the assembly area and paddocks using a rock steady tripod to get long exposures, which allowed me to show the static grandeur of the cars (and a few moving ones) with all the activity of the drivers, mechanics and guests moving around them, I think the results capture the dynamism of this event.

It's tough choosing just a few to show you, I hope you enjoy re-living the moments captured here.
