Although I'm not a big fan of Formula 1, I must say there is a special feeling when you are there and hear it and smell it live. I never watch it in TV, but I visited the Hungarian Grand Prix 4 times during the last six years. Of course, it is partialy due to my son, who likes it very much.
One can not find a better place to shoot movement pictures than a Formula One race, so I tried it this year and prepared ahead for this weekend of our photo contest. Obviously my equipment is far from excellent for this purpose. I shot these @200 mm and 1/100 second. This is the last turn, entering the home straight. At this point F1 cars are driving around 130-140 km/h and start to accelerate (to speed up and reach 290+ at the finish line).
