Bishopscourt Stages NI Rally Championship

[mikey_mac]

A few shots from the 2nd round of the NI Rally Championship on Sat 13th March. Not the most exciting event but there is one monster jump at the race circuit which is always good for a few air shots. Was good to finally meet and chat to KGrally and Jim9449 at the event - hope you got lots of good action shots and look forward to seeing them posted soon, cheers lads.
A few shots from the event then., all C&C welcome.

Cheers for the comments Pete, I'm fast becoming a Chevvy fan again, very well turned out version that, were 2 in the last round only 1 this time :( - damned recession.

Appreciating your detailed observations there Jon.S, I'm not a big fan of rallies based at race circuits but no doubting for me that they are essential for getting experience at this photography lark :). I see what you are saying about 'noise' in nr.6. This was a cropped shot and think I oversharpened it, probably trying to turn it into the shot I 'wanted' it to be, rather than presenting it as it was. This was my personal fav from that batch, will have another go at presenting that one maybe.
Thanks,
Michael.

Thanks Welby,
Had another go at nr. 6 here. Is this an improvement folks ?
