GTOpen Tests April 2021 - Circuit de Catalunya
Camera: K3-II Photo Location: Barcelona 
Posted By: red5isalive, 05-02-2021, 03:18 AM

Hi members,

Last week and the previous one where tremendous talkiing about racing. There's been 3 events in 7 days. So this one is one of the ones I went to.
GTopen as the name says is a GT Cars championship that also races the known as EuroFormula which is a Formula championship before Formula 3. I was able to join those tests with my K3 and K3-II and the following lenses and wanted to share some of the images here with you:
- Sigma 100-300mm f4
- Pentax DA* 50-135mm f2.8
- Pentax DA 50mm f1.8
- Sigma 17-50mm f2.8
- Pentax FA* 200mm f2.8

As explained before, in those tests 3 categories where taking place. Formulas (EuroFormula), GT3 Cars (GtOpenCup is how they call their racing here and now) and GT2 cars or GTOpen.











Being test days I also willed to test different things so I was playing with the DA 50mm f1.8 for a while taking different images











Also wanted to play with my lovely FA* 200mm f2.8 that I usually don't use on the racing weekends,



This is Vivien Keszthelyi an hungarian female driver



And then those are taken with the DA* 50-135mm thru the windows of cars. Usually this lens performs great doing this.









Hope you like them,
Cheers!

The shots with the driver's eyes are the ones I connect with. #2 and #4 especially. Thanks for posting.

A very interesting set of photos, capturing various moments of the event. There’s lots of stuff going on in these races, one would certainly have a ton of interesting themes to work on... I especially like that drivers’ portrait shots and the panning ones were well executed.

Thank you Michail,

Yes! There is a lot of stuff going on and luckily during test days you have better access and usually more time to execute almost everything you like, and even time to experiment too.
