All shots taken with 30D and 70-200 2.8L.

Excellent shots. I love the white Saab/Volvos against the snow. Both very dynamic shots.

Great shots. I can imagine its hard to get the exposure right. Any tips?

[Tobias N]

Thanks for the comments.

About the exposure I put the EV at about +2/3 to +1 stop and always shoot in RAW to get a bit of margin to do some postprocessing on the images. If not i end up with underexposed images.
Only problem is the spotlights from the cars that makes the lightmeter underexpose the images. So i recently started to work with M mode to get full control of the exposure.

I think they are all great pics but love the first two.

Nice work! Some great vintage cars you shot there. There's a Saab that rallies over here in the western United States that would have fit in perfectly with that rally:

Thank you! I think 1,2 and 4 are the best of this set, most action in them.

Nice shots, i really like the first one with the mountain in the background.

Only problem with Sweden is that it's so long and it get dark fast. For this rally i had to go 200 kilometers single way. But i think it was worth it.
