great pics mate

Nice one Paul. L300VTR is a great shot.

The yellow 106 is a *bit* soft on my monitor here.

Where these shot RAW or jpeg? And what sort of PP have you done?

[PaulEY]

All jpeg, I didn't do as much usm on the second 106 as I went overboard a bit on the first but as they are for club member i thought they might like the more sharper images and wanted to see if any of them commented but they didn't, can redo it when he wants the full res image though.

I liek that shot of Leons too, the sideskirt must have grounded at some point.

usm, crop resize usm levels if needed and thats it.

[Dave_G]

Cool, couldn't remember if you shot jpeg or not.

Yeah Leon's is damn low!

[PaulEY]

Yeah for that I had to for space reasons, I took about 1100 shots (3 x 1 gig cards) only did about 50 on the saturday stand build up though.

[Cadwell]

Nice shots. The three little Citroen shots would be my favourite of this group.

I passed quite a few cars heading for the FCS along M1 on my way up to Doncaster on Sunday and a fair few of them heading back towards London on my way home. Most of them appeared to talking on their mobile phones. Naughty French Car Drivers.

[PaulEY]

Cheers Glenn, yeah bloody French car drivers ;) First time out with my 120-300 and I am even more in love with the thing, takes a 1.4xtc quite well too.

[Cadwell]

Yes, I used my 120-300mm with a 1.4x TC for a couple of seasons on the 10D before I bought the 500mm prime. The TC didn't seem to bother the lens much at all.

[Dave_G]

I've just got a(nother) 2x EX TC for mine, seems to focus a bit quicker than the last one which is odd. WIll try it at Le Mans, not sure whether to keep it after that or not. Not as if I'll have trouble Ebaying it if I don't want it.

Was shocking slow at Combe that day with the 2x

[GSH]

The shot of the 3 Citroen thingies is nice :)

Brunters is pretty much featureless so getting decent backgrounds is near enough impossible...

Hope no-one suffered from too many stonechips, that track is a nightmare if they don't sweep it the night before.

[Aggy]

I like the shot of the Citroens Cs, shame they didnt come round in alternate colour order, but such is a life. :)


Sunday and a fair few of them heading back towards London on my way home. Most of them appeared to talking on their mobile phones. Naughty French Car Drivers.

Tried using a mobile phone in mine once..... ;)

[Cadwell]

Tried using a mobile phone in mine once..... ;)

:lol: I wouldn't have been able to use my mobile phone in my own car whilst following your's at 200yds distance. Noisy thing.

Are you sure your exhaust isn't blowing :p

[Aggy]

Of course it blowing, it's blowing out of the great big 4 inch hole in the back
