Location
I took this photo at Thruxton Race Circuit UK part of the Beitish Supersport Championship love bikesTime
Forget the exact time but I think it was mid afternoonLighting
The light was good that day and got the sun behind me Down at turn 2Equipment
I used a canon 7d mk2 I must admit it's a great step Up from the mk 1 and the lens was a sigma 300 prime 2.8 not quite on par with the Canon equivalent speed of Focusing let's it down a bit but hopefully farther Christmas Will help :)Inspiration
