Tempest Stage Rally

[jms_3d]

Hello

This is the first time i have used my DSLR on a stage rally. Usually i compete in rallying so i don't get the chance but wasnt competing here so decided to take my camera.

All shot with canon eos 20D and sigma 120-400 on shutter priority and manual modes.

This is my first real motorspot event so nothing fantastic i know and i am 18 so please try not to be to harsh on me

I would say your Mk1 Escort and Evo shots are the best of the bunch.Some of the others are slighly out of focus or have focused towards the rear of the car or on the stones!.It would be better if the front of the car ( or rear) was sharp.

Perhaps work a little on your composition too - the cars dont need to be central in the photo - use the rule of thirds if you are cropping.Hope you keep up the camera work when your not driving.

My favourite is the Mitsubishi Evo ... sharp and off centre.

These are brilliant, Like the Escort in No1 best, great McKlein look to the mud slinging.....
