Top work :)...what's the orange glow by the left front wheel in #1, #3 & #4...something seems to be getting a bit warm?


Old Seb doesn't look too pleased to see you though. Life must be hard when you're used to having the title in the bag by now :D

Great shots, especially the 3rd and 4th . The glow is a beam for telemetry readings for the cars set up.

Thanks for sharing

Cheers Geoff, as said the glow is for the timing/telemetry, We were uninvited guests hence the grumpy looks :) although he was signing for the few that had turned out

These are stunning for clarity,sharpness and colours,blinding work.

Please dont be offended but do the wheels have added motion blur ,as I cannot seem to get this sharpness and blur together .

Do you use the IS on these on the 70-200 ,or did you use another lense .

If I come back with stuff like this from Rally GB this weekend I will be thrilled.

You learn something new every day, cheers :D

it should be an interesting weekend with only 8 points between Loeb & Hirvonen. I'll be cheering for Mikko in the hopes that a Championship win will persuade Uncle Malcolm to celebrate by putting a current WRC car out on the Grizedale Stages as he did for the Manufacturer's win a few years back...

No, no added blur, Pic 4 has off camera flash as the light was going but nothing else. Mode 2 IS was on all the time with these though..
Cheers

Fair play,and interesting you used off camera flash ,something I need to do more myself.
Thanks,and have a great Rally GB.

[Rhodri.Lew10]

Superb quality shots with #3 & #4 standing out. Love the DOF in #3.

Look forward to seeing your shots from the event proper..

[Stewart Laker]
