Rallying - Documentary Project (Image Heavy)

Instead of just standing at a couple of corners and shooting the same scene every time I decided to get in and around the pits and mix it up with the competitors and spectators at a rally event I attended yesterday

All shots with Pentax K-5 and 55 200 and the Pentax Q and 03 fish eye lens

Great set, #3 is my fav, lovely sense of movement, and a great mix of different types of shots and views.

Great shots - shame about the guy under the Sunbeam showing everyone how not to be safe whilst under a car - I accept that there could be axle stands out of shot though.

I love the tyre wall shots as well - nice set


Sorry for the health and safety rant but I know of too many people killed or injured through failing to observe the basics

been involved in motorsport or a few years Stu - i know the pitalls

Cheers for the comments

Could that be why you are not one with his neck under a car tyre

I love the different nature of some of these shots such as the couple peering under the bonnet of the escort - the more I look at them the better they are

Cheers mate

Loving the chevete shot where was the event?

Bishops court race way Downpatrick

Great shots. The fisheye has been a useful lens to have with you too - like the variety of shots you have been able to take because of it.

A Superb work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone

I'm pleased with the Q as a back up.

I also shot some film so looking forward to that

I'm not the least into motor sport but nevertheless, I enjoyed these.

Some very nice stuff there, Alistair - and converting the Chevette to mono seems somehow appropriate. I attempted to cover a Brands Hatch meeting in this manner yesterday, concentrating on the paddock for a fair while before heading trackside, but the weather was crap and almost everybody was hidden away behind closed awnings.

I always enjoy your street portraits and look forward to seeing more of your motorsport shots during the year.

Very kind Simon

I'm going to be a dad very soon so not sure how much photography ill be doing

I'm guessing it'll be indoors and feature a certain small person!
