Made the annual trip to VSCC Prescott for another long weekend at my favourite (by some way) event of the year. Spent more time this year around the paddock and vintage car park soaking up the atmoshere, so there's a bit of a mix of photos.

1/ As its Prescott, lets start with a Bugatti

Thanks for looking, Comments welcomed as always.


Cheers,
 
Loving that first one! All great though :) See you at the Gold Cup? Wave, shout, throw fruit, bricks etc in my direction if you see me :LOL:
 
Beautiful images. Loved #11, but #12 was sacriledge on that wonderful MG .... should have been a Brandy!

Great work!
 
Great shots! For me the best by far is number 11 with the trees framing the shot. Nice work.

It's just a shame about the modern car in number 8 as you said.
 
Great set, numbers 2, 4, and 10 for me. Number 2 because I love the shot and composition, number 4 because of the movement and I love the car (its the 24l Napier Bentley isn't it?) and 10 again has great composition and it made me laugh!

Looks a great location, pity about the weather it seems!
 
I think a proper glass pint glass would have made shot 12 more pleasing and complementing to the shots, but none the less, some good shots :)
 
Hi David,What a brilliant set of Hillclimb images,much better than I see the signed on togs producing,great variation and skill used,super compositions.
These really do show the meeting of to great effect,Well done Sir!

Thanks, it is indeed the Napier Bentley, spectacular to see off the start line.

Location is perfect for the cars regardless of weather, camping on the other hand, not ideal.:)

Thanks very much, was nice to get around and see more of the meeting too.

Much appreciated.

The simple shot of the Nash in #2 is so evocative! And timeless!! (y)
 
Great cars and great photos. Are you using any Zeiss glass? 2 has the Zeiss 3D look to my eyes.

Cheers,
Dave.
