This photo of Lewis Hamilton was taken during free practice at the Silverstone Circuit on Friday 5 July 2024. The photo was taken at the Luffield corner. 2 years ago, I also took photos at Silverstone. Then in a different corner. Silverstone is a beautiful, iconic circuit.
On Sunday 7 July, Lewis Hamilton won the Silverstone Grand Prix.
To take this picture, of Formula 1 cars passing at speed, I used the panning technique. This involves moving with the subject. This creates a nice dynamic in the photos. The subject is sharp while the surroundings are out of focus. Because of the blurred surroundings, you can see the speed in the photos.
As a fan of Formula 1 or Hamilton, this photo is a great work to hang on your wall.
