Clipsal 500 shots for Big V

As Big V mentioned, I have taken one or two photos of the promotional ladies at the Clipsal 500 race. Here are some from this year:

Well I guess someone has to do it. :up: Big V can keep his cars. I bet the smile on your face while shooting was bigger than the Girls.

They did seem very popular.

Every time I asked the different girls to stand together of a photo, when I was finished I'd turn around to find a crowd of happy-snappers lining up. :lol:

Nice shots mate,

Pity i couldn't mate it this year as i had other shooting commitments. I have it on good authority that the financial downturn has had an affect on the amount of promo girls, damn financial decline !!!

On a side note good to see the 2 beam brunettes on the outside making another appearance, got shots of them in 2007 and definitely one of them in 08

Well done!

I think I recognised a few faces from previous years. I guess the same girls get hired back year after year.

I found around race time they started to appear. There seemed less around earlier in the day.

I'm not sure. I was busy. :D

They didn't take kindly to trying to get them to pose.
