Bit of rally action

[RickMezza]

Took a few photos at the Rally at Driffield (East Yorks) on sunday.
TBH the rally was a bit boring - on the old airfield, with no real offroad sections. So it was difficult to find any gnarly sections.

Anyway, I'm no rallying expert but here's a few shots from the morning...

Sideways action (my favourite of the set I think)

This driver looks to be dressed a bit too casual to be hurtling around in a 6R4 !

Number 1 is fantastic - you can just feel the motion, yet you've managed to get the driver & co-driver sharp.

Some nostaligia there too - Lotus Sunbeam, Mk1 Escort & the Chevette - and the 6R4 is just a beast.

Nice set, I think the first would be my favourite of the batch too.

Can't believe there's only been two comments on these :shrug: Like the others the first stands out for me but they're all sharp and slightly different angles from the usual rally shots, great work :)

[mole2k]

Yeah they are a really good set and really should have more than 3 comments!

[RickMezza]

Thanks for the comments guys. :thumbs:
No worries that there aren't any more comments :). I sometimes look at other peoples' pics and if they're particularly bad or good then its easy to comment, but I know its difficult to comment if...well...there's nowt much to say.

Cheers Dod - I did try to get some different angles, or at least create some that looked different through cropping the pic in different ways. For instance on the 1st one - it was a grab shot as the car started to spin and I actually caught it with the car plum in the middle of the frame. There was nothing of interest on the right of the pic so I thought I'd crop that out to *try* to emphasise the cars' slide with the dust etc from the left. It worked pretty well, but I'd still have liked to get the nose of the car sharp :|.


Anyway, I'm hoping to get to the WRC in Wales later this year, so it was good practise to take these few shots beforehand.

Cheers,
Rich :)

I do like the Chevette, I used to navigate in one of those in the 80s. Thanks for showing us

I can't add anything more to what has been said already, but I will post this as the pics deserve more replies than already added.
