-- 26th Sep --

 

First day opened to the public from 1pm !!! The day the marshals have been waiting for !!!

 

Overall pretty tiring with the support races + 2 F1 practice sessions @ night~

I can afford not to put on my ear mufflers with the Formula BMW cars, Aston Martins n Porsches but damm !!! When the F1 cars zoomed by (few metres from me) without any ear plugs, it literally HURTS inside my ear drum !! No joke !!

 

Ended day at 11pm, but only managed to reach home 1.5 hrs later due to stupid logistics and transportation along Marina Sq + jammed up roads~

 

 

Cut the crap, here it goes:

Finally what everyone was waiting for !!!

 

 

Compared to the cars from the support races, it was almost impossible to shoot a F1 car in action clearly !!!

Just how low are the F1 cars set up + why r some drivers complaining about bumps along the circuit?

Just watch these [sweatdrop]

GREAT EFFORT !!

 

regarding your issue with blur pictures on the 300km/h++ F1 cars , may I suggest your panned your camera as the car approaches ? try to panned smoothly and fire your shuttle at the 'right' moment instead of shooting it at static.

understood, which was what I tried for some other shots, but too hard for a compact camera~

 

can't lug a DSLR + tripod around too, n the area + position which I was in, wasn't exactly comfortable too behind safety cages etc [sweatdrop]
