Goodwood Festival of Speed
It was a fantastic day! I got loads of great photos which I shall upload soon (when I get an opportunity as I'm not free for a couple of weeks).
Thankfully the rain held off until near the end, and when it came it was just a quick 5 min shower, unfortunately it left the track half wet and half dry.....a very localised shower. Unfortunately (I think it was the rain at least) this lead to one of the cars loosing control on the wet track and plowing into hay bales either side of the track...I never thought I would see the day that I would see an Aston Martin smash to peices like that.
Anyway, it was a fantastic day, I will say more later but I'm off again tonight to do some more photography (for my sister's prom) and I'm absolutely knackered.
(Hopefully I wont fall asleep there....)
Thunder and Lightning
Its been a while since my last update, I've been doing all my exams in the past few weeks....only 3 left to go! Yay! And then I have my driving test...the day after my last exam!
This week I have been mostly revising for my last few exams, which will be over in less than a week! I also had the day off of work on saturday for my 19th birthday, where I went to beach with friends, and took some photos of the event, and the kitesurfers on the beach, two of which I have found time to upload as well!
A Kitesurfer jumps over a cannoeist off Shoreham Beach on Saturday the 16th of June 2007.
Kitesurfers enjoy the gusty wind on Shoreham Beach, but the ominous dark clouds signify rain later. Taken on Shoreham Beach on June the 16th 2007
On a side note, I've been enjoying the thunderstorms tonight, and trying to take photos of the lightning, which has been very impressive forking across the sky, unfortunately when I set my camera up the storm had passed (typical) and I didn't catch any lightning on camera...today. I have only managed to photograph lightning once before, I will try to find the picture to put up here after my exams are over.
Its been quite a storm though, and it looks like Shoreham was just on the edge, lots of places to the East have had quite a show! I hope other people have been able to use the opportunity!
On a side note however...I hope the weather clears up by Friday, as I'm off to the Goodwood Festival of Speed!
So hopefully I shall have some nice photos to upload soon!
Enough for now I think though, back to revision......yay...
Quick Edit (20/6/07):
It turns out that got a photo of the lightning from last night, and submitted it to the BBC Website:
