I went along to Longleat today for the annual Woolbridge Speed Hill Climb, despite 25mph winds and forgetting my Monopod...and spectator areas being further back than your average F1 track, it was still a brilliant morning. Shooting 420mm handheld in horrific winds was challenging, to say the least. Was a really good event though, spent 3 hours there this morning and hopeing to do the same tomorrow.

Anyhow...

Comments particuarly welcome on how the colour/exposure looks, that's the area I get the most 'complaints' so I've tried something different this time.

Lovely set - I liked the Mini at first sight and after seeing all of them I still prefer it. The colour and exposure do it for me.

I didn't go, heavy rain when I got up at 7am this morning and it never stopped. Stayed in and watched the GP instead!
 
Love the mini shot, my personal favourite!

Some great shots considering the strong winds you mentioned!
 
Great, thanks for the comments guys. Pleased I didn't really get any exposure complaints this time as I specifically tried to improve on that.
 
You have done really well.
The shutter speeds impress me as you have captured the speed but got loads of clarity in the shots.
The colours look pretty natural,and in the poor light and weather a great result .

Some impressive shots given the very low shutter speeds you were using. I wouldn't be able to go that slow at that focal range, I'm not steady enough lol.
