A few photos from this year's Pacific Forest Rally... great action as always, but a higher than usual attrition rate unfortunately.

Even with a few showers, there was still some swirling dust:

Everyone at Merritt is so friendly - even the co-drivers!

Too much expensive stuff to fit in my cheap camera bag.

love the dust and dirt in #1

a great set of nice clear pics, looks like the weather was perfect for sitting out in the forest too
i assume you were using a polariser ? there isnt much glare on the bonnet/windscreens
i wish i had remembered mine last weekend

Thanks for the kind words.

No polarizer used. It was overcast with showers (about 10 deg C), so with the low cloud cover and soft light, the lenses used (70-200 2.8 II IS and 400 2.8 IS) were naked... filter free :)

Sounds exactly like the kind of day we had on Saturday (except it was 15-18 celcius here)
Wet enough to keep the dust down, but not wet enough to be muddy and uncomfortable.
