Monster Trucks - Europe Stylee

[Dave_G]

Just a few from a round of the European Monster Truck Championship held in Redbourn in Hertfordshire (UK) a few weeks back.

Used a fast shutter as I think I would have muffed them all up if I had attempted some motion blur!

There was also a demo of Freestyle Motorcross. These are heavily photoshopped as I did muff them up! Shame the sky was so dull and didn't really make for a nice background. Blue skies and a few fluffy clouds would have been nice.

Good stuff Dave. The photo of "Slingshot" while airbourne is GREAT! (These could easily pass for being shot on US soil.);)

:) cheers

they weren't actually moving that quick - the trucks that is - and due to severe lack of IS glass...I opted for a billionth of a second shutter. hahahaha

I thought monster trucks were just for us rednecks here in the states.
