Club Night News: 19th April

Assignment Barford Raceway

Sunday 22nd April. Racing starts 1.30 pm but there is plenty of potential for photography well before that. There is good access to the “pits” areas as the crews somehow keep the battered stock cars, hot rods etc into racing order. Shots of the actual racing can be had from the raised up banking all around. A longish lens would be useful, 200 mm or more.

It’s a golden opportunity to bag cracking images for the Fillingham Trophy – set subject “This Sporting Life”
