Barcelona Pictures

Hey guys, I'm back and brought a TON of pictures from the first corner. As usual I photographed the entire field. So any particular cars/drivers you like to see? Otherwise I'll just default to the Minardis...


How about Trulli's super pass on MS? Or my personal favourite: The triple car accident...in the Seat supporting race.

 

Can't post 200 pics here. Also don't want to go too far off topic, so the question is somewhat serious. Obviously I'll post the Ferrari and Sauber boys, but who else would you like to see?

Yup, the D70 really rocks. The instant feedback helps a lot to get the "money shot". Plus the thing is fast enough to shoot an entire sequence, like Trulli's pass with locked up brakes past the Schue. I used my regular Nikkor 80-300mm zoom, which on the D70 gives me a 450mm maximum magnification. From my seat that meant the car was actually bigger than the frame.

 

Hehe. BTW: Didn't get my VIP Sauber tour, but at least stood in front of their brand new building hosting the wind tunnel.

 

True. Believe me I tried a few promising venues, but they really don't do tours for anybody. The factory and the tunnel building are fairly small, so if they wanted to show you something, they would have to basically stop their work and hide everything. It is not like e.g. Maranello where you have visitable areas vs the secret areas. It's basically two building.

 

Probably not going there, sorry. Too much other things going on.

 

The MS temple, the Ferrari temple, main stand and off they go!

 

Nr 2, Massa in the Sauber-Ferrari, tifosi and their idol.

 

More tifosi, some British fan, a fan for the local hero, the race winner.

 

As usual the supporting race was a lot more interesting: Every other lap there was an incident.

The super pass of the race: Trulli outbrakes Schumi into the first turn.

 

LOL, yeah, that's a good one. Bernie always stresses that he loves Schumi, hmm...
