Mid Wales Rally 2011 - Ben Gilbert

[BGilbert]

Spent a cracking day in the rallying mecca that is Wales, superb weather in the afternoon and cracking action all round made for a really good photo opps. Good to met up with Rhod Lewis and Jim Blandford for the day, and good to see alot of familiar faces in the stages.
Heres a few of my efforts from the day.
Any C+C would be welcomed.
Cheers

Nice stuff there Ben, No 7 I just like but for what reason I haven't a clue.

Some superb images,Ben.

I too like 7 ,but reckon it would work even better if it was framed larger.
2,4,8 are a bit repetitive,but great shots.

I dont dislike any,and looks like you had a great day.

 

[chissy500]

Ben, enjoy this moment cos that is high praise indeed from the Pons-meister !!
Great shots, #2 is my fave, great attitude and position in the frame.

[wippers]

Some great shots there Ben. Didn't know you were on here. Met you up on the hill a few times.

 

[PaulF]

Great set, number 2 would make a cracking desktop, great colours/contrast.

Must try and do a rally sometime.

Really enjoyed seeing these.
You've got me reminiscing about the early 80s again, happy days....

 

[Neil.]

Nice set. My picks are 1, 8 and 11 (like the crop on the last one).

 

[kryten]

Dust clouds ,dirt,water splashes and plenty action.You caught it all nicely.The only crit I have is that you could have put in more Mk1 Escorts, I always like them better than Mk 2's!

 

[Az_GTi]

Fine stuff Ben Gilbert. Looks you had some excellent locations!

 

[Jim B]

I too like 7 ,but reckon it would work even better if it was framed larger.

I have some similar shots, but framed wider (if thats what you meant) had the 17-55 on and couldn't be asked to change to the 80-200, and I think Ben's are better!

 

[BGilbert]

Cheers for all the belting comments lads, really chuffed with the reaction ive had from these.

 

[Sifoulkes]

1,6,7 all cracking for me.....

I need get to another rally soon

Good to see you again
