Looking at the pictures you can for sure see how dull it was, but I think you could coax a little bit more brightness from them. Good action and sharp shots just a shame about the day.

Nice shots. I really like the first one too.

Do you ever get told off for using flash at these types of events?

I was spectating at a rally a few years ago and was told to turn te flash off on my camera.

lol your cameras flash is very bright, it didnt bother me as i was sitting in the passenger seat navigating but it was very bright and can distract people who are concentrating on there line ect :)

Anyways you took some fantastic pictures, sure you saw alot of sideways action from both the FWD and RWD cars :lol:

I had a great day personally.

I was just wondering would it be possible to have high re copies of car 58? :) in my defence :o itsa standard 1400 engine :) very underpowered compared to alot of the cars there...

thanks :)

Taking photos with the flash at rally's has never been a problem. You will probabaly find a lot of the pro togs at rally's use flash. All the usual crowd I meet at forest style rally's use flash and I have never heard of anyone being told to turn off a flash.

it didnt stop me from taking pictures, it was at the tempest rally in 2004 i think... The flash was bright on the inside of the car and could in some cases distract someone but tbh i dont think it is anything major :P you was the only photographer there who actually used flash :) but as i say its no problem :) doesnt bother me :P
