Hi guys

Just finished editing my pics from the classic hill climb on 11 Oct so thought I'd drop a few in here.
All pics taken with the 5D, and either the 24-70mm L or the 100-400mm L. Exif should be intact.

Full gallery 116 pics HERE (external link)

C&C welcome, enjoy, Chris

i would have put these in motorsports... but they are very nice. That red car is an awesome healey! I saw the gallery, I just wish you got more angled shots, most of them are side on.

RadAL, I agree, would have preferred more different shots, but it was not easy to find different spots. It really was series of hairpins seperated with short straights, and buildings in the way, as it's run on a normal road that is closed off for the weekend. But we take what we can get.

Nice ones. I saw a guy trash an E-type on a tree at a hillclimb a few decades ago. He didn't exhibit the usual British reserve after. ;)

Just marvelous. Not only are those some great shots of some very elusive subjects, but quite simply conversation evoking. I'm impressed

Thanks for all the comments guys, appreciated.

You're right RadAL, might have been I was just being lazy, still hadn't recovered from my climb up Axalp for the cancelled airshow :-) That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :-)

Photosguy, I imagine I would not be very British if I stuffed an E-type either, would probably be using a lot of short words to describe how I felt :-)
