Just before I left Melbourne to start my trip up the center of Australia to Darwin I took in the F1 qualifying round the day before the race. Hard to describe the atmosphere other than sheer adrenaline delivered by extreme noise and speed. The event opened with the Roulette flying team. I started shooting with a shot of the Roulette’s in the Melbourne skyline. Next I tried taking shots of the F1 cars, a blank shot and first of many, followed by pieces of cars and spectators. Hats off to those that know how to shoot a F1 race. By the way, one the the shots is of the big screen directly across from our grandstand seats showing the bad weather about to descend on the track. The rain and wind did not slow down the party!!
