I hope you enjoy them! I sure did: nothing more fun than being thrown about in an offroad vehicle. Next time we go, I am gonna have a drive! :D

All taken with D70 and kit lens. Only one image has been cropped (the one with the Range Rover jumping). All others are full frame. The only editing has been contrast and USM.

Looks like a really fun day - and nice shots, too!

[minimeeze]

Looks like great fun. And there's me thinking 4x4's were only meant to be used on the school run :exit:

[sue]

Looks great fun, nice to see 4x4 used for what they are meant for. some nice pictures

[antc]

looks like awesome fun. there are some crazy wheel angles on the 4x4's on some of those climbs :eek:

[Joe T]

Thanks for the comments folks! :thumbs:

[RobertP]

Great set of pictures :) certainly does look fun (in someone elses car)

[Janice]

Wonderful set, Joe. Now that's our kind of day out!
We've always had 4X4's..... I remember once my husband reversing up a bank just like those, an old railway cutting to be precise). Something a bit unnerving going up something while you are facing down!!! :)



Edit..... that sounded a bit rude...sorry!!

[Marianne]

LOL @ Janice..... :lol:

Exceptional photos, looks a bit scary to me :eek:

I sitll havent cleaned off the mud I got on my lens hood when I took this shot! 38mm at this distance isnt much! Now I know how dod feels!

Thanks for the further comments folks. :)

Haha, nice shots Joe, really like the landrover close up :) Awesome fun in those things. Haven't been invited out to play for a while now, must go prod some of our suppliers ;)
