WPS Member Gary Scorgie
Gary began his photographic journey in 1979, starting out by capturing aircraft with his first camera, a Zenit TTL film SLR with through‑the‑lens metering. What began as a fascination with aviation gradually evolved into a wide‑ranging passion for image‑making.
Today, Gary’s work spans multiple genres, including wildlife, landscapes, aircraft, and street photography. His current focus is automotive photography, particularly around motor circuits, where he enjoys documenting not only the machines but also the people who bring these events to life. His images are crafted in both colour and monochrome, reflecting his interest in mood, character, and storytelling across different visual styles.
‘Opened on September 18, 1948, by the 9th Duke of Richmond, Goodwood Motor Circuit in West Sussex is a historic 2.4-mile track created from the perimeter road of the former RAF Westhampnett airfield. Known for hosting the “golden era” of motorsport,
it was the home of British racing from 1948–1966 before closing due to rising speeds. It was revived in 1998 for historic racing and now hosts ‘Members Meet’ and ‘Goodwood Revival’ as well as many track days.
When this car came out of the chicane it is so powerful that the front nearly lifted off the ground as it accelerated. I used a slow shutter speed to blur the background and capture the wheels spinning to create movement in the image. I then processed it in Nik Collection Silver Efex software to make the car stand out from the background
A candid shot of this guy walking past a classic car. The people are just as important as the cars at these events.
Nikon D500 DSLR f9 ISO100 1/200sec and panned along with the speed of the car to keep it sharp but still get some movement in the wheels and background.
Getting up to top speed down the start finish straight.
Just caught this driver relaxing between races in the paddock.
Saif was putting the power down as he was leaving the pit lane.
