My pictures from Flame & Thunder @ Santa Pod. IanC managed to sort it for me, thanks Ian! Here we go:

Lets start with a pair of muscle cars. I’m quite pleased with these:

4. The drift arena:

Now the jet cars. The first time Ive managed to get adequate panning shots of the jet cars. These things move pretty quick, and as they are also accelerating it makes it very hard to pan them nicely.

7. Andy enjoying being in the barn when the jet car lets rip!

17. Slightly random shot of one of the fairground rides

18. The monster trucks

19. Probably the best shot of the day:

20. I cant decide if this one works or not?!

All taken with D70 and either 18-70 or 120-300 2.8. All are uncropped with the exception of numbers 7 and 20. Comments appreciated as always.

Great set of shots Joe! I wanted to try panning but either wasn't tall enough to see, or there were people in the way
Did the balloon glow happen?

Thanks! The Balloon glow? Well they inflated the balloons for a few minutes then deflated them. Hard to work out why

another good set of shots, a couple look a bit soft though mate?not sure if down to very narrow DoF or other reasons though.

Which ones mate? They may need a bit more of a sharpen.

Really like the monster trucks Very good set of photos very good panning

Nice pics.

Number 16 is my fav.

 

[dod]

number 9 is the pick for me Joe, almost like the guy is looking at you, great catch

What's the story with the guy in #12, is that a jet powered go-kart

 

[RobertP]

Jet powered disabled buggy. He never made it to the end of the track and there was a delay while they got him out of the way

Super set Joe. I like the huge truck shot #13, the Monster truck shot #18...and the Legend Stunt car...shame about the shadow on the left...love it though.

I think your right about #19...very poignant that one.
I like the soft colours in the first few as well, something classic about those shots.
