Its been a little while since my last blog post and with the busiest start to a racing year ever I thought it would be a good time to put down a few words along with some hot motorsport photography shots, oh and a Scallop Pie! So for 2018 we have elected to make this our biggest year in motorsport photography. Last year was full on with the Aussie Racing Cars and our Supercars commitments (and we have both again this year), to add to the mix I had 10 days away in Mexico at the F1GP and with Matt Campbell in the Porsche SuperCup, it was a mind blowing trip, so amazing and capped with Matt winning both the Porsche events. But thats so last year LOL. Remember to LIKE our Digital Realism Media Hub page on Facebook to keep up to date with Photos etc for this year. After the Christmas break we were back into the shooting, there was a couple of practice days out at Queensland Raceways for the brand new SuperUtes with Western Sydney Motorsport. However the first race meeting for the year was to be the Bathurst 12hr, once again we were the team photographers […]

A couple of weeks ago I got to experience my first ever Formula One event at the Melbourne Formula One Grand Prix, many people say its the best event of the year (except maybe Monaco) being the first event for the new year. My very first taste of the F1 came late Wednesday afternoon whilst a mate and I were at the pub, the Minardi Two Seater with Cameron McConville at the wheel was running some warm-up laps for rides a bit later, to say I was impressed with the V10 scream is an understatement that’s for sure, wow. We’d get to see and hear this car each morning around 7.20am as our alarm clock. SO I’ve been to lets say hundreds of race meetings, yet here I am at the Pinnacle of Motorsport and its so laid back, nothing on track till after 9am even later some days, gees at a grass roots event we’d have had 3 races by then! 🙂 Supporting the F1 were the Australian GT’s, Porsche Carrera Cup and of course the V8Supercars. I had a few clients in all classes but really this was a junket event for me (have to thank my wife for […]

This years Clipsal 500 was without a doubt a big event for Digital Realism, 40+ Aussie Racing Cars took to the concrete jungle and 40+ cars made it out the other side too. No other class at the event could say this! I love this circuit, its a bit of walking but there are so many photo points we can shoot from, producing some of the best photography for the year. Outside of the ARC cars I was also shooting a few AGT cars, plus my Dunlop series clients too, this is what made it a BIG weekend, but I had a ball. I was going to say the weather was perfect, and it was up until the final big V8Supercars race on Sunday afternoon, just before the race started they declared it a wet race, I was at turn three and thought that’s weird it wasn’t raining, well, then the heavens opened and it poured down, its the wettest I’ve ever been at a race meeting! Luckily the Canon gear stayed reasonably dry! Here are a selection of photos that made it to the Facebook page along with some that were run in Auto Action as well, both online […]
