Le Mans 2012

Last year two Hoylake photographic Society members, Barry Quatermass and Rob Devenish visited the Le Mans 24 hour race and their story and images were published on the blog. It's the most read entry since the blog started last year. The pair were so impressed with the event that last month they returned again to take in the atmosphere and fast action of this epic sporting event.

You can read all about last years event and what to expect by clicking on the Le Mans 24 hour race link which is a good read, so there no point in writing about the detail of the trip again. Suffice to say that Barry and Rob have learnt from last years photographic experience and have returned with even better images than last year.

This time around Barry wants to show you the social life and people around the racing at Le Mans, while Rob has gone straight for the racing and together they've supplied a balanced record of the Le Mans experience.

Rob Devenish has created a Flickr gallery of his Le Mans images if you want to see some more.

There's nothing left now but to let their mixed images tell the story.

If you're inspired by photography and interested in club photography then why not give Hoylake Photographic Society a try. We're closed for the Summer recess at the moment and members are busy capturing images for the new seasons monthly competitions.

We open again in early September so keep an eye on the Hoylake Photographic Society website for our forthcoming program or follow us on Twitter and through this blog.

We're always looking for new members no matter what your skill level and your first taster visit to the club is free with no obligation to join.
