My take on the Best of British Rallycross Meeting

Lovely shots Simon. I think I need myself a 500... Anyone care to finance me?

*tumbleweed*

Thought not.

Simon,
Even in crap light it does well.
The Metro shot is amazing for colours in that light.
Like you I dread to think how good it will be in good light.
Great shots in appalling conditions.Love the wet minis.

Pons

Thanks Pons.

I'm hoping the next event at Croft in a week or so will be dry and bright so I can put it through its pace in decent weather.

Simon.

Thanks Joffan.

I'd go for a used mk II and sigma 500 f4.5 rather than a brand new mk III - it would only cost a little more. Surely you could get that passed the other half??

Simon,

Cracking set as ever Simon. The 1D does seem to capture a lot of detail, coupled with a 500mm working very nicely and a custom WB to get the colours right = spot on

Simon,

I'll try it. If you never hear from me again then you know why.

Lovely set of shots Simon, I think the one that really stands out for me is the Lawrence Gibson shot, it really jumps off the screen, I also notice how little damage there is to Binks' car after his little bump into the tyre wall I think Mark and the team at MSR were kept pretty busy all day.


Cheers
Ian

Thanks Ian. Those rallycross cars are certainly built to be tough. Given how far he pushed the barrier back, I was also surprised at how little damage the car had as well.

Cheers,

Simon.

Thanks Az. I think the mk II and Siggy 500 is going to be a winning combination

Simon.

top stuff Simon. 1&7 are absolutely top drawer!!

am also another non-advocate of the 120-300+2xTC. it's useable but will never produce shots that have the clarity, contrast and sharpness of the big Sigma prime.
