Some Photos from Monaco F1
Lens: Various Camera: Pentax K5 Photo Location: Monaco 
Posted By: red5isalive, 06-22-2016, 04:26 AM

Dear members, this year my mates and I went to Monaco for the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

My K5 did had a problem the very first day by crashing in to the floor, wich made her loos her AF and also some functions.
Anyway I tried to be smart and tried to create some images in that tricky small seats that the french use to like, sitting too close to each others.

I hope you like them

First some Porsche Cup photos at La Rascasse corner





That one was a good slide and close to crash





Seems like they jumped a bit.

To be honest with you those 5 next photos had AF in the camera (before she decided to jump out of the seat to the floor at La Rascasse)



Here you can see how hard was to take any photos, as we where mainly located at the Pool entrance sector, and the grandstands where covering almost all the view of the cars, or then, people's heads where in the way.



Then the very first day we could sit into any stand in that section so we moved forward closer to the entrance of the pool, but still as you'll see the walls where too close and too large








Okay, again without AF on the camera.
Even more, I had to use quite high ISOs because the lenses did not ended up attaching 100%,

That is Norman Nato winner of the GP2 series race on friday I think (or Saturday) from The Casino Square (Nato did P3 in friday I believe, and won in Saturday)



Again Nato, before taking the corner, carrying some speed





Then Sunday started the day rainning, wich was a pitty, but quite nice to watch. With Aussie Daniel Riccardo leading easy the race, 2 seconds a lap faster than Lewis Hamilton. But first, some Formula Renault 2.0






Then F1 action from Sunday













Can you see the car there?





That's mainly it, I hope you like them!

Thank you!
Yes mine was quite similar, at the end got it repaired after paying 60€ in a non official pentax service (the official one was asking 190€ to repair a 250€ camera).

Thank you!
