Roberts Santa Pod Flame + Thunder pictures (56k?)

[RobertP]

Something new for me and the chance to meet up with some other forum members. It was a good day out and I might even go again sometime!

Anyway I have plenty of pictures I could share but I've kept it down to 16 for now.

This one was through the fence - but look at the wheel shape!

Think I'd have circulated about more if I'd been on my own - got a bit cold standing around. Thanks are due to Joe for suggesting the event and rounding up us lost forum members :)

Thats a pretty good set you got there Robert. :)

I see you making the most of the 400mm! Are many of these cropped at all?

I think when I get mine up later, Im going to ahve quite a few similar to yours!

No worries Glad to have you with us. :)

[neonpollen]

Nice set Robert, funny I have some that are very similar to yours which I was gonna post, so I guess I better choose some others instead :)

[RobertP]

#2 is cropped to about 50% of the original. All the others are uncropped except #10 the air intake detail which was a bit wonky so I straightened it.

Thought I'd better get in quick before *I* was posting the same shots ;)

[Hacker]

Great shots Robert, they are all good but my favourite is the first one showing the jet engine (#5), superb capture.

[minimeeze]

Good set of shots Robert - I like the one of the motorbike with all the tyre smoke.

[dod]

Really good set, probably the smokey bike would be my favourite too :)

[RobertP]

Just a few more....

Nice shots all

Are most these shots hand held ?
Anyone using monopods ?

[RobertP]

Mine were all hand held. the IS makes it quite easy on the 100-400L.

Joe was using a monopod with his Sigma. his shots should be somewhere near where you found this old thread :)

great set of shots, nice one :thumbs:

Thanks:thumbs:

Was worth bringing up the post again as some new peeps with the 100-400L and some thinking of buying one....these pics show off the lens for action shots :clap:

Great Set, reminds me of my visit to Santa Pod last year.

The noise (& smell) of the jet cars is amazing!

:)

[casper]

Pics 10 + 12 are by far my favourites
nice :)
