Mallory Park - Boxing Day

[strikerstu]

What better way to spend Boxing Day, than at Mallory Park for the Annual Plum Pudding Meeting. By lunchtime a large crowd were at the circuit to enjoy some great racing, anything from old bikes to single seat cars. And even Father Christmas took part....

This is the first time I have had the need to push the 1DMKIIN up to 800 ASA, I am amazed at the quality, most of the above were taken at between 500 and 800, with shutter speeds of 125th or 160th sec.

Any c and c welcome as usual...

Nice shots - it was difficult conditions wasn't it!

I haven't put many online yet due to real work etc., but here's a couple

That would be me Mike, like your pics. As you say, difficult conditions, I could not believe how dark it was all day. Just got back from a day at Butts Quarry in Derby for an Austin 7 hill climb event, will post some shots later.
