WRC Rally Acropolis

What an incredible event ... the Acropolis rally is rougher than a rough thing on a very rough day . All the major players had problems of some sort and the event wasnt decided until the fat lady took center stage!

Anyway on to a few photos ...

1.

Great shots Jay, you do get around! Love the Petter and Citreon shot, oh and the ultimate parade one's not too bad.......

Nice shots Jay, love the first one and the last the jump shots a beaut too

Very nice shots. The crowd in #3 is a nice touch

Good stuff Jay Bloody shame they stick a huge Red Bull inflatable over that jump

I see the fisheye has been out

Some nice shots on your site too

Do you protect you camera with anything from all that dust?

Really great shots, Jay. Looks like a great day!

Wonderful again!

What's better the heat of the Acropolis or the cold of Rally GB?

I do love the variation you post ,Jay.
Normally I am not a fan of fisheye shots,but the petter shot is a blinder,the flying Citroen ,terrific.
The dolly birds look lovely ,and the mirror shot works well,and is something I will try for soon.
Will check the website as sure to be good.
Great work travelling man.
Pons

All fantastic shots Jay, hard to single one out.


Cheers
Ian

Cheers Nick. I've shifted my focus (excuse the pun) a little and will be concentrating more on WRC events in the future.

Thank Gary, I actually enjoy taking the atmosphere photos far more than I do the cars. I just find them more interesting.

Cheers Ant . I was delighted that Red Bull decided to erect the banner over the jump ... the same cannot be said for the ISC though. Heard that they were not at all happy.

Didnt bother with a camera cover .... I used the 'up the jumper' technique instead. Worked pretty well

Thanks Anke. It was actually a great 4 days. WRC events have a shakedown or testing day followed by 3 days of competitive driving.

Cheers Felix .... The heat and dust of the Acropolis is certainly different to the mud, wind and rain of Rally GB. Carrying a backpack containing 50lbs of camera gear is certainly easier in Wales.

Thanks Mate. It took me a while to deicde which photos to post ... It was probably my best WRC photo gallery so far.

Just need to see if I can better it in Finland and Germany now

Another fine set Jason, all super shots, those guys get some hight on jumps,looks like dust could be a problem changing lens

Looks like a rough day for the drivers, but the photos look great as always

very very nice shots Jay hard to pick one out well done mate

That fish eye of sollberg is amazing!
