Knockhill SMRC April 08

[AndyP]

My first post folks... (off to say HI! in the introduce yourself section once these pics are up).

I was at Knockhill in April making use of my Canon EOS 350D and new 55-250 IS lens (thank Santa for that).

Here's a couple of the results.

All C + C more than welcome.

A.;)

1. Tighter composition required for this. A bigger lens would help, but I like the fairly narrow depth of field.

2. Hmmm - I was going through a 45degree phase then. It adds some drama to the pic, but I realise now I've been using it too much recently.

3. I so wish I was on the un-safe side of the fence for this one. Would have been a cracker if I had.

4. Gronkowski had a bad off which stopped the last round for the Scottish Cooper Cup early.

Nice shots. Nice capture on the crash! Tis a bit of a shame about the fence on the legend shot. Love that first one!

Ouch @ the last shot.

I like these alot, and the 45 degree is effective.

welcome to the forum

excellent capture on that last one, especially with the marshal poised for action!

The crash is a great capture! Well done. The marshalls reaction really adds to the picture.

Cheers folks.

The last shot..... I was lucky enough to be following that car with my lens, as soon as I saw what was happening, I just kept my finger down on the trigger. So I actually have the entire incident from when the following driver nicked his back end which sent him sideways for a while and the route all the way into the tyre wall. But because I was using a 1/125 TV setting some of the shots are a bit blurred as I obviously got a bit overexcited and zoomed too quick etc. The event is captured, but it wouldn't win any awards.

Thanks again for your comments.
