1 Day At Shelsley Walsh
Fri, 09/10/2009 - 3:27pm — Admin
This is some time lapse photography I've been doing at Shelsley Walsh this season.
I decided to try something different as a project for the year and it has been a steep learning curve. There are definitely things I would do differently now but I am quite pleased with the results.
I'd love to hear any feedback on this.
Update: You can hear some more samples of music from the artist featured on this clip here. I'm very grateful to be allowed to use the song here.

Thought the vidio captured the atmosphere of a day at Shelsley very well. Lets have some more please. The music was just right giving interest without being intrusive and was blended with the action very well, this singer/composer shoul be heard more of.
Thanks Anthony. I'll update the post with a link to the musician's website. This was a song I just happened to hear mid way though the year and it stuck in my head for this time lapse.

Without quite knowing why, I really enjoyed this. It conjured up all the atmosphere of a sunny summer Shelsley, but from a different viewpoint, and with a good amount of the background that is rarely seen - spectators toiling up the hill, the marshals' briefing, the signing-on queue. It certainly worked for me, and it must have been a lot of work, so thanks for the pleasure of watching it. Great stuff! I liked Becca's music, too - it encouraged me to listen to some more of her on her website.
Thanks for the comments Simon and thanks for your entertaining drives this year, particularly Gurston back in May. It was a lot of work but I'm very pleased with the results and the very nice comments I've had back.
Thank you also Jeremy - just don't look at the rest of my photos as there are lots of dull car only shots there ;)
Ayyy!
Thanks chap!
A score to a movie should be invisible. (This is a very valid row I'm having with my ego!) But thanks. :-)
A strange choice - but I do kind of think it works.
I've just looked up your beautiful machine - just the sort of thing I'm found face-up, sprawled on the tarmac, taking pictures of the engines of...it's an absolute darling. (Hmmm...no hiding I'm a bird, right?) If you played Shelsley, sorry...if you RACED at Shelsley this year, I can almost guarantee I've got some odd beautiful shots of her. (yeah, yeah - 'she''s a 'he' right?) (smiling)
Images Most excellent.
A new and vibrant approach that helps reflects the true and wonderfully unique atmosphere of Shelsley. A welcome change from so many images showing all car and if lucky, just a hint of the historic surroundings.
what a fabulous tribute to shelsley!!! lets have some more!!!
I totally agree with Simon Taylors comments , after 45 years involved with motorsport & having never been to Shelsley Walsh this footage confirms all the good i have heard about it ,now looking forward to taking part in events in 2010 & beyond. Footage gave a good cross section of the days activities at Shelsley Walsh .
Loved the film. This really has captured the atmosphere of Shelsley Walsh, & in such an unusual way. It must have involved a huge amount of organising, but the results speak for themselves. I watched very closely but could not see myself in the film. Maybe next time!! I'd definately want to see more of this kind of thing though. Also enjoyed the music, which seemed very appropriate to me, & captured the essence of 'a day in the life of Shelsley'. It was also nice to see the tribute to Bob Dayson at the end. I never knew him, but always enjoyed reading his 'gossip' in the M.A.C. News, as well as seeing his drives in the Ward.
Very well done with this film & thankyou for sharing it on the website.
wow really special I like it! it puts shesley into perspective well done most enjoyable. :)
NICE ONE!!
I have watched this so many times and it is much better than a short video. Brilliant. I hope you are able to do it again in 2010.
Also a nice tribute to Bob Dayson and all those who will be sadly missed this year.
