AMOC - Oulton Park

[D_M_J]

I nearly missed this event, would have been a big mistake. Entertaining cars, racing and weather! Some track stuff then a few off track.

Very nice set great panning in 1 but its 2+3 for me

Good first set, a nice variety and 3 stands out! lots of things to like about that shot.
Your processing works well in the second set, I think its a shame about the more obviously modern aspects of the background in the alfa shot, or I could well imagine it was taken a good number of years ago.

The 2nd of the old Aston is really good - what Phil said ^^^

Many thanks. That's my big brother at the wheel - I spent most of my stint on the grass!

Love the humour in #7! Guessing it's a Tiger, probably with the bonnet open a crack at the back to allow enough cooling?

We used to go to the local hillclimb for the AMOC meeting but now go to the same hill for the VSCC (Vintage Sports Car Club) meeting which was last weekend. Been to busy to shrink any for web use but will do some soon (wife's out tomorrow evening so might do some then). No modern stuff at the VSCC meet but some overlap of cars (or at least makes/models).

No problem Mark

Cheers. It was an Alpine (Harrington), that shot is of the rear badge/hard top, or a bit of it anyway.

VSCC is my club of choice Do get some pics uploaded when you can, would be good to see!

Cheers,
David

Love #2, especially with the Mustang peeking through in the background!

 

[Nod]

David, someone else has posted a few from the same VSCC meeting that I was at but I'll deal with a few of mine as well! Just gotta heave my lazy donkey off this sofa and up to the room where the big 'puter (and pix) are!

Nice set man.

Really like the framing in the ones with people in too

 

[bazfoster]

Terrific... jealous

 

[starkersclark]

Great set

I've photographed this series before and it's great fun

Thanks for the comments all, appreciated

Cheers, I like to include people, especially in paddock shots. A bit more tricky in that weather though!

Cheers,
David
