Been quite busy last couple of weeks, not really had much time to post. So rather than create 2 threads I thought I'd post just the 1. Was at Brands couple of weeks ago for the Thundersport GB Bikes and then last weekend for the BARC club racing. All good stuff and for once it didn't rain or snow *shock*. Actually got bit sunburnt at the bikes.
Been playing around with my new 40D seems to work which is a good start. Having few problems with the 24-105 though. Seems ok for "stills" but anything moving it's a bit pants. Might see if I can borrow a 24-70 - that's ideally what I want but it's a few bucks. I'm mainly using it for panning or pit/paddock stuff. I really like my 10-20 but it's usually just too wide.
Anyway enough chat here's a few compressed "forum friendly sized" photos for comment...
Thundersport GB Bikes 31/05/2008...
#1 Superteens are always good fun. Massive grids. This young chap concentrates negotiating Surtees...
#2 Quite like this angle just before Surtees. Nice clean background...
#3 Leaning round Druids...
#4 Yep there was some "racing"...

BARC Championship Racing 07/06/2008...
#5 Peddling through Paddock...
#6 The Kumho BMW's wern't afraid to race hard. Taking the shortest line through Paddock...
#7 Couple of cracking Caterham races. Unfortunately this chap ended up in the Druids gravel trap. Apparently he had a bit of an "airborne moment" on the crest but I couldn't see this...
#8 The Campfields racing through Clearways. Paul ended up on top as Adrian spun it into the gravel a few laps later...

Be patient the galleries may take a few seconds to load. Comments welcome as always!
Probably going to be at Brands again this weekend, probably Sunday. Some old touring cars are in town. Rain rain rain wohooo.
Cheers!
