Red Dragon rally, SS2 amd 5

[Brands]

Had an enjoyable day at the Walters "arena", more angles than I could shake a stick at plus the Welsh weather was kind and only threw it down between runs.

First up on stage

Great action shots. I think my fav is #7. Just love the gravel being shot up by the wheels :)

Great series of shots,luv pics 7 and 8 especially 8 with the wheel off the ground,nicely captured.

good shots, would have liked some more angles, but that me being picky.
The track looks better than last year, it was terrible, dust was blown up by car passing and didint clear until the car behind came through. It all adds to the excitement i suppose.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Dandaman..I was really surprised how little dust there was until near the end of the second run. I also made a bad move in not taking a short lens as a 17-40mm would have been useful at a couple of places.
Having said that the arena did offer several spots to shoot each car more than once per run through.
Finally I was glad to visit the venue for a national rally and not the WRC, as the speccy pen looks very uninviting for photograghy :(

Very nice set of shots John, I've been meaning to do the Red Dragon for the past couple of years but it always seems to clash with something.


Cheers
