Jim Clark Rally 08 - Scotland

[Big Ant]

I spent 3 wonderful days in Sunny Scotland watching this superb event

I took my new Tokina Fisheye on it's first outing, I'm quite pleased with the results

[jbanbury]

Great use of the Fisheye in No.4, thats a really nice image.

[tehdrok]

Some unusual shots there, thanks to the fisheye :) Good stuff! Love the flying mk.2 :D

Cracking shots Ant, 1,3 & 4 for me

[Robert C]

Great series of pictures, the fish eye gives a refreshing change. The airborne Mk2 is spot on!

Robert

[FelixP]

Very nice selection again, but the wide shot of the Focus is my favourite!

[KevB]

Great shots Ant. No4 is a cracker. :D

[D.A.]

This FORD is amazing. Great slide. Angle is perfect and use of fish eye.
For my taste of course.

[ALALAL_1]

Wow great shots, shot 2 works well for me...

[jim9449]

Crackers Ant, the McHale shot is great, what did McNulty do to get a 15 minute plenty?

[SCOOBAY]

Crackin pix Ant, that new fisheye works well.
Nice meeting you.

Del

I believe McNulty was caught having a fly bit of servicing, hence the 15 minute penalty.
Article 12.2 prohibited servicing is the technical description.

[Big Ant]

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated.

Nice to meet you Del on Abbey, Saturday morning:D

It was great event, all over too quickly:(

[GSH]

Lovely shots Ant, particularly the wide shot of the Focus. :)

[chrispons]

Hard to fault any of these,the flying shots are so clear and sharp,superb exposures,and the fisheye shots certainly differant.
I think the second one is excellent.
Lovely stuff Big Ant.
Thanks ,
Pons

Brilliant shots Ant:) the MacHale Focus is outstanding and I really like Mr Bannister flying in his MKII


Cheers

Quality stuff buddy. Fisheye stuff is cool - little bit different. Assume you had some special access, quite lucky to be allowed inside that hairpin, certainly opens up wide angle fisheye opportunites. One thing I need to work on with rallying is taking for wide angle shots from the inside of a corner... always tend to use something a bit longer and shoot from the outside. How'd you find your Sig 24-70, one lens I'm looking at getting, use it much?

[jon.s]

Great shots Ant!

#4 is one of the best i have seen from the rally.

rather you standing there than me though! unless it was on a remote ;-)

Regards,
Jon.S

[John Hudson]

The air shots are superb, but the wide shots really grab my attention here. Great stuff.

John

[kipper]

Great work Ant, especially the wide shots.:)

Thanks once again everyone for your comments

I love my Sig 24-70 its a cracking lens for the money. The only thing I've fallen foul of was the Langton watersplash, it's not weather sealed and it let a tiny bit of water in after this shot

Mind you, I did look like someone had poured a bucket of water over me after that:lol:

Love the fisheye shots. A refreshing change from the usual stuff. Also, looks like you found some better jump spots than we did although we never really strayed away from the main spectator areas. Think I'll do a recce mission next year!

[Big Ant]

Thankyou all once again for your comments

The web site is now updated with more shots from the event, if you care to look;)
