A fantastic day, bloody cold but the sunshine and action took the chill away. Again I took these with my newly aquired Sigma 120-300, I really must change my lenses, this seems to be stuck to my camera:D

Cracking shots Ant, like the Mark Solloway escort shot the best. I was hoping to go down for this but had to work :(

Lovely set of images Ant. That jump looks worth the walk!

No.3 would probably be my favorite

Superb Ant, particularly your last shot of the dark blue mk I - a very dynamic image that one.

Cheers

Lovely shots Ant. Looks like you're another "lucky" owner of a good 120-300 ;)

I went over to Blackpool for the North West stages...apart from the glorious site of an S2 Quattro popping & banging its way around Pontins i wish i'd stayed in bed.

I believe that's a common fault with the mount on the Sigma 120-300mm. It has a tendency to get stuck on the camera after you buy it.

Lovely shots and I particularly like the shot of the Porsche 914. I haven't seen one of those being rallied before!

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated

I was shocked to see the Porsche 914 rallying, although it did drown the first time it went through the water splash;)

Great shots Ant.. think this has made up my mind to get the 120-300 when i get a few spare notes.. have you had any of the 'sigma' problems with it?

are those jump shots from the jump around the back? i.e furthest away from the bowl.

Cheers,
Jon.S

Thanks Jon

The Volvo was over a crest near the bottom bowl but the others were the jumps furthest away from the service area in the middle bowl;)

I love this lens, I've had no problems with it at all. It locks on really quickly but I must confess I haven't tried a 300 I.S 2.8 yet

I was the co driver in car 10, the black 914.

This is the best shot of all the ones we have viewed over the last day or so.

Its great to see such a quality picture of us in action. I will be looking at your website soon to see if you post it there as we would love to buy a print from you.
