The 2011 Malcolm Wilson Rally (fashionably late)

It's been a while since i posted anything on here, or indeed managed to use a camera in anger. I probably would have posted some from the Riponian a few weeks ago but the 7D went haywire after getting a drop (yes, 1 drop) of water in the shutter release....luckily it has now recovered. Be careful if you have one, the hype about sealing is just that...hype.


Anyhoo, i tootled over to Cumbria with Simon "Spielberg" Harrison for this one. I'm not entirely sure we picked the best spots in Greystoke for photos, but i'll inflict a few on you anyway


1. Escort being Escort-like.

Bloody hell Geoff!
I thought mine would be the last set from this rally
Really like No3 Geoff, Mr Brick was soooo sideways everywhere i saw him!
Greystoke is not the nicest of stages for photos in my opinion.....although the stage layout did look a lot better this year on the maps i saw!

I've had these uploaded for a few days but only just got around to posting them here

Ideally we'd have gone to Grizedale as we know it quite well, but as Grizedale North & South run consecutively we'd only have seen 1 run.

Dave Brick in typical pose is my pick.

Nice shots 've seen the highlights on youtube, what an timid noise that Peugeot cosworth

Like these a lot Geoff, particularly #3. That looked great on the screen just after you'd taken it

Definitely #3 for me Geoff. Not sure if it's my monitor, but the colours may look a bit flat?

One of those god-awfull dull late winter days in Cumbria i'm afraid. I did play with the colours but they looked overdone no matter what i tried, so i left them alone

Nice Geoff, great focus and dof with the 7d and Siggy, was a weird light all day though, glare in the morning and then just flatness as you say........
