Well last to post photos again from the mini POTN meeting in the Lake District, it was good to meet up with the others albeit for a small chat.
Anyway here are a few of my shots from the day

Great shots as always... Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff Ian. I see what you mean about the shot of Bogie. That lad can really drive superbly. As well as the obvious action in the first three shots, I like the inclusion of the crowd as it puts the shot into context, but the DoF is well controlled to stop them from dominating the shots.

Cheers,

Simon

Indeed, he is madder than a mad thing

He was noticably quicker than cars with twice the power.

This small photo just show his commitment

Nice work indeed Ian, as usual :)

I love the action in the first 3. That Nova was a sight to see, definitely a case of maximum attack from the driver.

Apparently Matthew Wilson's Focus WRC hadn't been properly re-built after Rally GB and was missing its centre diff and paddle gear change.

Young David Bogie in the Nova will be out on the Christmas Stages at Croft in one of his dad's 6R4's :D Last time he was allowed out in it he had mechanical problems on the first stage so didn't really see what he was capable of in it. I'm looking forward to it :mrgreen:


Thanks for the other comments

I'm getting the obligatory annual Man-Flu attack over with early so i should be there :D

[petrolhead]

I will be there, wouldn't mind having another go with your 120-300 + Converter Geoff if thats ok. The last time I ued it I had just started so feel ready to handle the beast again :)

[GSH]

You're more than welcome Peter although i doubt if either the event or the weather will give much opportunity to use the TC.

Excellent action shots Ian :D
