not a fan of the 6th and 8th. Nice pan on the JD car (no 3) and good capture of movement on the 2nd. Not the easiest angle to get motion but a crisp image.

I love these cars!
Beautiful shot!


Your making me miss Australia as well. Do you have to be a pro to get close enough for these shots, or can anyone take photos?

nice shots

[dimas_tp]

nice!!

[Lionel]

As usual great shots. Still using the 400 with stacked 1.4Xs. If so what brand of 1.4Xs are you using.

They are all fantastic, but I love the impact that #6 and 8 give.

[Tobias N]

#1, #2 and #4 are the best of them but the all have a good sense of speed in them.

Thanks, No you don't have to be a pro to get close enough. These shots were all taken from behind the fence in the public area. Lenses used for these shots 400mm with & without 1.4x TC and 70-200mm with & without 1.4x TC.

Thanks Lionel, Yes still using the 400mm f5.6 With stacked TC's on some occasions. Use a Canon 1.4x & a Kenko Pro 1.4x.
Did not use stacked TC's on any of these pics just the 400mm with the Canon 1.4x on #1,4 & 5.

I would love for the V8's to come to the UK!

[Nidz]

Always top pics there from you.. Well done.. I'm envious..

Hey T_O_M,

Not a bad shot amongst them.
Probably would have cropped/cloned out the upright of the overhead gantry in the Tander/Wall shot
Nothing much other than that to add.

[T_O_M]

Thanks Phil, Good suggestion about cropping/cloning the upright.

Tom.
