Weather was alright for this event. Lots of different shapes and sounds, the main aim of the 750MC is to keep costs down. Here goes!

A couple of Locosts doing their thing at Clearways

I like #1 a lot Dave. Nice composition and colours on that one. Thanks for the contact details for the monopod feet.

Cheers,

Simon.

cheers Simon. That particular hue of Orange is good at fooling the sensors, seems I hit a sweet spot with that one.

no worries re the feet...might glue mine on!

Was discussing that very thing with Geoff on Sunday. Seems he's tried it, but so far hasn't found a glue to do the business:confused:

indeed...Superglue is to an extent water soluble.

Araldite or Evo Stik might be be better.

No More Nails? :D

As usual a cracking set,but I am impressed with the colours and exposures ,Dave.
The motion and crops are good too,1,3,6,7 for that.
The Saxo kids ?,no need to go to Brands for that,we have a Citroen garage just down the way,and my road is the evening raceway .
I think the green ginetta shot is my favourite,great movement ,superb clarity and outstanding colour.

with regard to PP, these have had a small pass of USM and a touch as usual of VelviaVision. none are cropped and were shot jpeg.

Why do Brands insist on those lovely bright red wheelie bins everywhere? They always distract my eye in the backdrop...

Pic 1 is nice as SImon says. can't help but think it would be nicer if you cropped the marshal's feet out :)

You there this weekend? Cos I need a hand at Lydden :P
