All taken with a Nikon D50, Sigma 70-300mm APO DG, shot in RAW and edited in Photoshop
 
Cheers Ross ;)

The Sigma apparently gets slightly sharper images to that of the Nikon 70-300mm, and that's why I opted for that when looking for a telephoto.

But the settings I used were Shutter priority, ISO 400 (800 towards the very end), Shutter speed was 1/250s, but I was overexposing the images by between +0.7 to +4 in some cases, but shot in RAW so as to gain access to the image afterwards for processing.

It was a big experiment becasue I have only shot Rally twice, and the first was a disaster, so I'm still learning the tricks of it but feel that my settings allowed me to get a good handfull of decent keepers :)

Well I am very impressed with your pictures and you have certainly got the hang of taking pictures in difficult conditions.

Thanks for the settings, will try them on the RAC in 2 weeks time and I am starting to think about maybe getting the sigma lens.
 
No problem, and thanks for the compliments ;)

Where is the RAC Rally then? My Dad mentioned this but didn't know anything about it, we might like to pop along too?

Thanks
