Love them all, but the one of Henning (#1) is a stunner! Great shutter-speed.

 

[Sargent]

I think I have seen a couple of these on the Rally forum. Very nice ...I wish I produced photos like these ones . Just out of curiosity, with regards to the focus points - do you have the camera on automatic select for the focus points or just one point selected (manual select)?..especially on the panning shots? If that makes any sense.

Clarwel, for motorsport photography, I always set to 'manual centre-point focusing', AI-Servo and high-speed continuous shooting. The 7D goes one better, and has 'centre-point expansion' focusing, which is nice Sorry to hijack, Drew.

I like those.

Good colourful subjects, sense of speed and plenty of action.

#1 is using ambient light nicely and #8 looks great although its not the sharpest shot of the set, I still like it the most.

Drew your panning is spot on great shots.
The Block shot is spot on

Oh good! Those are the settings that I have always used...nice to see that I correctly sussed that one out.

Lovely set of shots mate, the lighting in #6 is very nice.

Only one I'm not too keen on is #8, the crop makes everything look a bit squished in the frame? Not sure if I'm making sense there!

We must have been stood about 20 yards from each other in Sweet Lamb judging by your shots here..

All the best,

Rhod

no worries, cheers - was focus mode that looks like a cross + ai servo and hi-speed always

Number 3 of Solberg looks like he has gone in to the bay with the angle of the car and huge splash.

I so wanted to go and had tickets but my Granddad was inconsiderate and died on the wednesday morning.

Great photos.
