#2 Andy Burton's barking mad Peugeot Cosworth. All fixed up after it's serious coming together with a tree at the Wyedean two weeks ago. Great to see this beast back up and running.

Good series of shots Glenn, nice and sharp. A bit too far for me to travel down to Bournemouth but looked a good day. Can't believe AB has got his car ready after the Wyedean, great too see it back though :D

Nice set of pics, as Darren said nice and sharp

Was that Jonny Milner in image #1

Hi Glenn, I wish I could get my photos that sharp. still xmas is coming :lol: perhaps I will get a better lens in my stocking. (But I very much doubt it :()

[t00thless]

lovely shots matey, looking nice and sharp and crisp. What lens were you using if you dont mind me asking.

[JuZ]

Lovely shots Glenn, very bright and nice colours.

Thanks for looking after us yesterday, I really enjoyed it and want to go again, even after our near death experience with that Hyundai :shock: :)

[Cadwell]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

No problem. The first three were with a Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX HSM. The last two used the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM.

[Ospi]

Great shots Cadwell. That Peugeot is one mean looking thing.

[despot]

Nice shots Glenn.
Not surprising the Hyundai caught you out, he was flying!

Love these shots mate.

Great perspective, low angle, very aggressive on the 2nd shot.

Gotta love the 120-300 ;)

[Ian_H]

Those first two shots are real crackers Glenn, it was good to see Burton back so quick after the Wyedean just a pity he couldn't make it to the end.


Cheers

Thanks :)

The 120-300mm is a bad habit. I have all kinds of other lenses but for some reason I keep finding it on my camera... I often have no memory of how it gets there ;)

Thanks Ian. I saw the car being trailered out of Wareham 2 as I left the stage car park. It looked intact so I guess it was mechanical gremlins this time.

[Dave_G]

cracking stuff as usual :)

[GSH]

You really should sell that 120-300 Glenn, it's an awful lens ;)

The colours on #1 are lovely. You can't beat a bit of sunshine in the right place. Also nice to see that Mutant Pug up & about again...until the MSA ban it :rolleyes:

[Cadwell]

Cheers Dave!

Geoff, I'll hang onto the 120-300mm a little while longer. I fear it will be my (painful) duty to test it on a Mark III on behalf of the forum. It's a tough job but someone has to do it ;)

Where are you getting your MKIII from Glenn?

I was on the list with WarehouseExpress as of about 6pm last Thursday. Sometime before they had it on the web site (sad or what) :lol:

Unless someone beats you to it ;)

[Cadwell]

Then I fear it would be my duty to give a second, third or whatever opinion. It's just my unlucky lot in life I am afraid :(

[GSH]

I dare say you'll be first with a review Glenn. Even if i get my MK3 before you it will take me a month to figure out how it works :D

[Cadwell]

Just point and shoot mate, that's what I do.

[AzzA]

Very nice as ever :) I notice your selection here has very clean backgrounds - no spectators / marshalls in bright jackets - good stuff!

[Simon Harrison]

Superb Glenn. The lighting on #1 and #4 is just great. Nice to be able to see the crews in each car hard at work as well.

I think that this is the fourth or fifth Sunseeker thread I've commented on, and each one has contained different shots, even if they were shot from similar locations. It is really good to see how everyone interprets the event, and as such I am always really pleased to see multiple threads from a single event.

Cheers,

Simon.

Not another one that's jumped on the band wagon surely ;) :p . I'm surprised at you Geoff, didn't think you'd get suckered in by all the hype :lol: .

Speaking of bandwagons & hype, how is the 120-300 Simon ? ;)

[Cadwell]

Fifteen all.

As everyone knows, my purchase of the 120-300 was purely on impulse. There was definately not months of deliberation and making a nuisance of myself asking lots of questions to certain forum members, and I definately did not borrow an example of the lens off more than one forum member to try it out before buying, just as I haven't tried anyones 2X TC yet, which will be my next impulse buy :lol: .

30 - 15 ;)

PS I'm only jealous:p :lol: .

Cheers,

Simon.

Thanks Az. We were lucky enough to find a stretch with very few spectators and soem good angles for the afternoon stage. Nor were there any marshals about. I think that was something that paid off in our strategy of being on-stage a couple of hours before it was due to run. We had plenty of time to find good locations.

[Allen Mead]

Some excellent photos there Glenn as always. I think my fav is #1. All photos have that certain clarity and sharpness that I seem to really really struggle with. Top dog!

[Cadwell]

Thanks Allen :)

[melita]

#1 is great, just for the crispness and the deep colours. I wish I could get mine like that. Is it just the lens or do you have some sort of PP secret you could share with us?!

For drama, I like #4.

But where are all the Scoobies?;)

Kevin.

[Allen Mead]

Thanks Allen :)

You're welcome :cool:
