Riponian Stages Rally 2009

[Ian_H]

A great day out in Yorkshire for the rescheduled Riponian stages rally, the event was won by Charlie payne and Craig Thorley in their Mitsubishi Evo WRC Step 2, amazing that the car was heavily damaged the week before on the Malcolm Wilson rally and Mark and the lads at MSR Motorsport reshelled the car in 4 days.

[Pete Owen]

No1 is really crisp Ian,great shot!

[Semmonka]

1 and 4 for me. #1 is wicked sharp with excellent lighting

[chrispons]

That first shot looks spot on for everything.

As does the Mini shot.

Great stuff Ian. Lovely shot of Charlie Payne's resurrected Evo and that Mini is excellent too.

Where were you lurking for this one ?

#1 & #3 !

[Simon Harrison]

The light on the first shot Ian is about as perfect as you could ever hope to get. An absolute cracker.

Where were you lurking for this one ?

I'd say Boltby. There's a shot of Amanda Cornforth on Ian's website, and she never made it to us in Roppa. If it wasn't Boltby, then it must have been the early part of Roppa.

Cheers,

Simon

Excellent shots Ian, love #1 the Charlie Payne shot, amazing MSR got the car re built for this event. Really like the Charlie Taylor rear end shot too.

[kipper]

Good shots Ian. The Evo & Mini are cracking. Good to see the classics out and the MK1&2's couldn't resist giving a wave.

[petrolhead]

The mini is the pick for me :)

Cheers Darren, surprised you weren't out

I think I like the historics better than the wrc's now

The mini is the pick for me :)

Tidy stuff Ian. You guys get all the good stuff up there! #3 stands out for me, like the angle and details on stones being thrown up at the camera :)

[Rhodri.Lew10]

#1 and #3 for me Ian, superb stuff. As Simon mentioned the lighting in #1 is absolutely perfect, and the DoF on the Mini shot really makes it pop.

All the best,

Rhod.

Thanks, apart from sharpening a couple of them had a few minor tweaks, a tiny bit of +brightness and a touch on the clarity slider. (All processed through Lightroom 2)
