Formula 1 - Monaco Grand Prix 2019 · **12 Likes**

Hello members,

In the recent years I've been able to enjoy Monaco during the Formula 1 Grand Prix taking images of the Support Races.
This year I've been lucky enough to get able to Shoot Formula 1 instead.

So here I wanna share the images I like the most from those 4 hectic days. In my personal view Monaco is superb for images.

Here they go:

- From this one the thing I like is that you can see the driver's eyes (Daniel Ricciardo's eyes)

I was lucky to get Vettel sliding into the exit of the corner but unlucky to find the fence in the way

A different view from the same

I was about to miss those ones

Mainly used: Pentax K3-II + Pentax K3 Silver + Sigma 100-300mm F4 + Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 at different shutter speeds,

Hope you lilke them

I always look forward to your photos, Daniel. You really capture the "feel" of a high-end car race.

Thank you very much Jer

Difficult that time as it can not look like that but cars go really fast in those streets and at some points I've really suffered with the AF not focusing properly.

As you can see I've also used quite fast shutter speeds that is not my taste but had to deliver and at some points you can just not use slower shutters. Anyways I was able to create some slow shutter speed images also

Impressive photography. Great focus, tight, relevant, racing composition. Some nice positioning for photography judging by your photos. Felt like I was there...

Photo of what I'm assuming is a helmeted (ACM on helmet) fire fighter...excellent and novel.

Well done, very enjoyable to go through your pictures.

Wonderful series, Daniel !!

I like them all, but #3 is my favourite. It captures so many different elements, with a really exciting rendering. Nice work!

Yes its also one of my favourites if not my favourite, but I also like the ones with the cars at 3 wheels and the close ups at the Loewe's Corner (nowadays renamed).

Thank you troika

Yes its great fun and a lot of walking if you wanna get different images.
To get to the podium we have been stopped during the last lap at the Pit Entry. A mate of mine was after me, when they let us go there was a lot of people and I've seen him run and start overtaking people, so I just followed and it payed off as I could get some podium images, but was close to crazyness xDD
