Welsh International ... Yet more from the ranges

[jbanbury]

Spent the day surrounded by some of the most moronic spectators I have seen in a long time ... then we had the marshall in his 'WRC' Impreza driving down the gravel road from dixies at a pace that Mr Loeb himself would have been proud of!

The sun brought them all out yesterday http://www.britishrally.co.uk/rally/images/smiles/smiley8.gif

Anyway, on to a few photos ...

Love the wider shots! 5 is georgeous! Interesting looking car too, is it a one off rally special?

As for the sun bringing them out yesterday, I'd like to remind you that this is Wales. The sun coming out is as rare as a total lunar eclipse, rather than the common total grey cloud eclipse! :p:lol:

Yet more great shots :D

Cheers,

A great set Jay, #5 works very well

I also like Melvyn's new mount in #6

There does seem to be quite a few spectators around in the shots I've seen posted so far:mad:

[jbanbury]

Cheers guys :)

Forgot to mention ... This was the 1st event since the firmware upgrade on the MKIII. What a difference it makes .... for those with a MKIII, I highly recommend 1.2.3 :)

[jbanbury]

Forgive me, I missed out the word 'moronic'

Over here with have a small problem of spectators who go to events, drink and stand in stupid places, give abuse to marshals etc etc

#3 for example looks like a 'chain gang' is stood in the background:lol:

Over here we call them 'chavs'

[photonick]

Perhaps when camera phones come with 500mm zoom lenses it'll stop some standing on side of the track. Thanks Jay for the info for next time.

[chrispons]

"Carling",probably the best camera phone in the world,and sure to be seen on a rally near you soon.:oops:
Coming soon ,by popular demand "Stella ",the ultimate lens ,the size of beer can,and ten times the resolution of a 500 mm white lens,and ten times as brave.
All buyers will be given a stupid baseball cap to wear the wrong way round ,and chavtastical white striped trackies,with nuggets of bling.

[jon.s]

nice different set here Jay.

#1 my choice, not seen this angle from here before.

#5 is one for you to remember for when that is used the other way ;)

Cheers,
Jon..

[jbanbury]

Cheers Jon

No. 5 - Yeah it was a very scenic spot. Like you say will be even better when run the other way :)

[Simon Harrison]

A great selection of shots Jay. Nice to see the event's location put into context with the wider views. I know from experience that they are not the easiest of shots to get 'right', so all power to your elbow!

Cheers,

Simon.
