LE MANS | JUNE 2014


THE RACE | DRIVER'S PARADE | QFP 2&3 | QFP1 | FP1

We'll have to wait for another year : the 2014 edition of the 24 H of Le Mans is over. It was an awesome edition with lots of tension and emotion !

You may recognise some celebrities in this gallery such as the Spanish F1-driver Fernando Alonso, Mark Webber (former teammate of Sebastian Vettel), actor Gérard Depardieu, Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey and the famous Belgian motorsport journalist Joost Custers !

Thanks to the French guy singing the Marseillaise in bare chest. Thanks to all the people in the public I shot and prove that this event is for the younger and the less younger. Thanks to Praga, Nissan Nismo and KCMG for providing gorgeous grid girls ! Thanks to the marshals and all other personnel : without them no motortsport event is possible !

Thanks to the media delegate Jeff Carter an his team who provide us with a very friendly and pleasant working environment.

Respect for the mechanics of our Belgian Prospeed team who rebuilt an entire car the night before the race (4 of them are featured in this gallery, sleeping or being tired on sunday morning). Respect for the 2 drivers of Prospeed car 79. Jeroen Bleekemolen took the wheel for 14 hours.

Finally, thanks to Fujifilm for their awesome X-T1. I shot all of these Le Mans series with the Fujifilm X-T1. My images have only slightly been processed in Aperture. None of these pictures were processed in Photoshop : just to show you guys what this camera is capable of !

My longest focal length was the 55-200 mm zoom. I would like a longer focal length and I hope that Fujifilm will introduce a super telelens for next season. No, asap. Hurry up Fujifilm !

Please respect Creativity !
