Rallye Sunseeker 2007, Somerley Park

Hi all,

Apparently there was a rally in the south of England this weekend...! These are my first posted photos, hopefully will all go ok. It was very gloomy for most of the day and rained for a while, definately not the best light. C&C welcome.

nice, good catch on the Evo/gravel interface

At least you managed a shot of the Hyundai that tried to kill us :shock:

Thanks Dave, it was bit unexpected!

Looking at everyone else's photos it seems a slightly faster shutter speed gives a better effect, I'll give that a try it next time.

When I checked in from work during the week the colours in my photos looked a bit off to what I remembered. Now that I've checked the originals against this thread on my monitor, there's a noticeable difference in colour. Can anyone recommend somewhere to host photos that won't do any auto-levels or recompression or whatever Flickr's done to these photos?

Thanks,

Chris
