If memory serves me right, and you're stood in Parc Ferme, the sun at Cadwell starts over behind Barn, comes round behind the crappy lake/swamp, round over Coppice and ends up behind you in the afternoon.

As Otei says, with wedding group shots it's a difficult toss up between having light ramming down your lens (a no-no) or all your subjects squinting like mad cos they're looking in to the sun. ou can work around it easily enough at Cadwell.

Can someone post up the date for Cadwell as I don't have it handy.....??? DOH, just found the calendar Oct 3/4 will check my diary....

I'll try and make it if I can as I've not been to a DD round for ages and it would be good to see everyone.

Guy

Cadwell "grandstand" near the mountain any good??? if you can't get track access just got to tip all the speccys out, at Luchtime it should be easy to lure them out with a few packets of crisps

I usually make a trip to the last round in the car so maybe a lift down from the Norf can be sorted if you like Guy.

Ray.

Looks like it could be a go-er folks. I have a photography thing that weekend but it's a 2-dayer and I could miss a day.

I'll try and get media accreditation for the event so I can be trackside for the racing too. Which day of either Sat or Sun would be best for the shot to work (with the riders and the meeting/circuit organisers)????

Be great if you can make it Guy.

Possibly more riders on the Sunday due to it being points scoring, as Saturday isn't.

I was talking to Paul from PLJ at CC and he said he'd be more than happy to to get a track pass and take some pics of us at Cadwell. He can speak to the powers that be there and arrange it, he thought the mountain idea was good but mentioned that there is a gantry above the start/finish line he could take a shot or 2 from, maybe with the top 3 A + B bikes and us lot gathered round looking up.

What do people think?

It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.

I think thats a great idea but I would have to say we should give Guy ( Cope Images )the first shout on this being a member of the DSC and past photo Guy of our DSC track attacks.

Guy did a great start line shot of one of the first trackdays at Cadwell. I'll try and dig it out and post it unless someone beats me to it.
