I'll be honest, I find car meet ups distinctly boring now. I've seen so many epic cars driving in their natural habitat that seeing a car parked on a slab of tarmac is about as boring as it gets. The Supercar Driver "Secret Meet" is fundamentally one of these situations. Every year they bring together as many members as possible for a group photo to start off the driving season. I wasn't going to head along originally as it's a bit of a trek from London but meeting up with MrJWW for lunch he mentioned he had an XJ220 for the weekend so why not combine hanging out for the weekend and larking about with some nice cars. I'm glad I did, what an absolutely amazing selection of cars they got together. I figured James was going to make a video of the day and have recently decided to only film things I'm actively enthused about as "faking it" doesn't come across that well on camera. This brings me to a task I set myself. Shoot the entire event with a 35mm prime lens. (The lens of choice was the sigma 35mm f1.4 Art}. Now I like the concept of 35mm, bit wider than 50, bit closer than 24 but in reality i've never really got along with the focal length. For some reason my brain doesn't "See" 35mm that well. Anyho it's quite a good lens for general day to day photography, you can shoot portraits and a bit of everything so figured I'd challenge myself and try and shoot the day with just 35mm. Like anything, the more you do it the better you get.
