Car Insurance

When Honda phoned up and asked whether I’d like to come and work behind the scenes as they prepared for today’s final round of the British Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch, I didn’t need to be asked twice. because I wanted to have a go at something different from just bikes going round corners. Mind you, the lighting in the garage took a bit of working out. I knew I had to use flash, because the overhead striplighting wasn’t much help, but I didn’t want to bleach out the light coming in from outside. So I used a remote flash on the floor to the left of the seated rider, Karl Harrison, triggered to fire at the same time as the flash gun on the camera and illuminate Harrison and the background, while the camera flash highlighted the foreground. I like the busyness: the mechanic putting on the heated tyre cover, the team bosses discussing track conditions with the rider, the Honda men keeping an eye on proceedings.
