Geoff's already posted some cracking shots from this meeting, so I'm going to inflict a few of mine on you. I've had to miss the Classic & Vintage Meeting at harewood for the last couple of years, so I was really looking forward to it, and it didn't disappoint. Add in the fact that Harewood is a photographers dream, with superb public access and great angles to be had from 17mm upwards, and you have just about a perfect day out.

Anyway onto some photographs: -

#1 A lovelly Talbot Lago

#2 Aston Martin DB6

#3 Not sure what this is (Brands or Cadwell can you help name?) as it wasn't listed on the programme, presumably because it was a late entry.

#4 Stunning North Yorkshire vista, with a Morgan thrown in for good measure.

#5 The mad Napier Bentley unleasing all of its power through the final corner.

#8 A little Singer to finish with!

All in all a great day out!

The photographs were taken with either a 40D or 1D mk II and either a Sigma 120-300 or Sigma 500mm bolted on the end.

For those that want to have a look, there's a full gallery on my website from the day: -

As usual, any comments or feedback are most welcome.

Cheers,

And why wouldn't that kind of glass take sharp pictures?

Stick around kid, you might just learn something that they don't teach in L school (aka the POTN lens forum) ;)

A superb set Simon. I'm praying for similar light this weekend!

No need to apologies Tolan, as I haven't taken any offense whatsoever.

If anything, I find it amusing that people actually believe statements like you made.

Some very nice pictures.

You even got a shot of the Quarry corner sweeping team, although I have my back to the camera.

I really must say hello next time.
