Rally of the Mmidlands 2008

[djaphoto]

I decided to head to this as it is quite lcoal to me, even though the weather hadn't promised good things. We took the Mallory Park stage.

Light wasn't the best, but shot RAW and tweaked the ISO at times to try for best results.

Nikon D50, Sigma 70-300mm, RAW

really nice set of shots there, gotta love the Lancia Delta :thumbs::thumbs:

[Torpedo]

Excellent shots all round. All nice and sharp. First one's a cracker. And also like the Lancia, as I used to want one when I was younger.

Thanks for the comments ;)

As said the conditions were quite poor and with only an f4-5.6 lens it was tricky at times so had to get some settings adjusted exposure wise lol.

Shooting RAW helped no end and I feel quite pleased really knowing what the weather was like on the day

[Matt Sayle]

Great set of shots. That 911 and Lancia :love: I bet that focus is REALLY fast.
