Lamborghini Aventador S - Phillip Island - March 2017

For next image in my Top 10 favorite images from 2017, we head to Phillip Island back in March.

It was the Asia Pacific launch of the Lamborghini Aventador S, part of my brief for the event was to compile a press kit of images for the journalists in attendance.

This shot was taken during one of the breaks in the day’s schedule, Luke O’Neil, one of the event instructors, and I headed out on track to capture some images of the car.

The beauty of photographing at Phillip Island is that the ocean makes an amazing backdrop, so this was part of my plan when we headed out on the track.

I wanted an iconic shot which showed the ocean in the background. So first stop was between turn 2 and 3, which has a great view looking back over the track and out to the water and cliffs behind.

Time was limited, so once on location, I jumped out and had Luke move the car into the best position and from there I began shooting, this was my favorite from the set.

It was shot on my Nikon D4s using Nikkor AFS 70-200mm lens, at 150mm, Shutter 1/320 at F7.1.

If you haven’t checked out my other favorites shots you can see the Daniel Ricciardo Shot here and the World Time Attack Shot here

Tune in for the next image later on today.
