Forgive me for late posting,but better late than never.
Had a wonderful day on the ranges,walked miles with my mate Sherpa Norgay Watson,survived eating a Deathburger ,met a few fellow Potn enthusiasts,and can see where all the white L series lenses have ended up,as well as watched speccys holding kids in the most frightening places that would have meant instant death if the high speed cars had gone off.
Apart from that I ached for days,but cannot wait to return,my passport is stamped,and the bribe money is in a brown bag for any corrupt officials I can bung.

A lovely Mk 2

I like this group! The light is a bit flat, but these are very nice images. You might try increasing the saturation or contrast for a little more impact. You've done well with the exposures and the pov. The backgrounds are also clean. A little tighter crop at the top, on #4. #5 is a wall hanger.

Cheers Tom,and thanks for your comments.
The Canon system is new to me having just bought the camera s/h,and I must say it is like a well tuned racing car that needs a better driver,but am enjoying practicing.
I presume you mean out of camera saturation or contrast .
Will have a play in photoshop .
Thanks ,
Pons.

Some crackers there Chris, particularly like the red Darrian (although the front of the car looks slightly out of focus?) - mind me asking where that junction is? Don't recognise it!

Cheers,

Rhodri.

Rhodri,
Cheers mukkker,and congrats on your lads winning the Rugby ,even I was cheering you on .Best side won the championship.
Yes,is a tad out of focus unfortuanately.
The junction is on the last stage,the german village is opposite,and they run down a long hill to a left,then uphill to where we were,another road joins just to the right of the Darrian.
Actually,we were given a lift there by two smashing welsh lads in a 4/4,as I only went to the ranges for the first time that rally.
Cheers,
Pons.
