Thanks Rob

Thanks Simon, I did wonder if you were there for the weekend or just that one day.

It was on the banking just after the bridge, which had the added bonus of tree cover for shelter from the light rain on Monday. I noticed they've added some extra banking for the general public - just to the other side of that bridge on the infield has been built up, and another part I've forgotten about.

I have ended up with a lot of pan shots, but still trying to practice getting more of the car in focus, with some reasonable success and some spectacular failures, but I'm better at deleting those now. My main disappointment with the rally stage was a lack of anywhere to get a decent pan shot, so most of mine look quite static as a result.

I look forward to seeing your shots when you post them.

Cheers. Despite taking probably more than a thousand photos over the weekend, it's always difficult to pick a range - I've got loads of very similar shots where only the car varies. I guess that's the process, though - once I took that 356 from the higher banking, I liked the viewpoint and took loads from the same place.

A reasonable weekend until Monday, with a decent selection of racing from Formula Junior to F5000 and some saloon cars thrown in.

As always, any comments or criticism welcome.

I thought about it for the Vulcan (Saturday, isn't it?) but I'm booked in a car show at Oulton Park that weekend. Had it been on the Sunday it might have been worthwhile because there's less going on at Oulton, but as the Vulcan is my main reason for going it's not worth dropping the local show for maybe 15 minutes of Vulcan action. I might do Southport a few weeks later, hoping for better weather than last year.

Yes, I'm hoping to find the original and get a better photo of it. Interesting you've had all those lenses over a period of time, do you still have them all?

Yes, that's a very good image and I'd like to be able to get anything similar. I was pointed to this article when I asked about astro earlier in the year: https://photographylife.com/how-to-photograph-the-milky-way

I found this image a while ago showing a poster of Pentax lenses, I wonder if I've still got the original anywhere.

Anyone got all of the lenses on the poster?

I've never been to this venue before, and was lucky to get a fine day for the VSCC meeting on August 2nd.

As always, any comments and critique appreciated. As you can see, this is mainly panning practice.

I'd be up for something at Oulton at some point, I'll be at the Gold Cup at the end of August in any case as we have a display spot there. I was thinking about going to this event, by the time I'd got myself organised it was a bit late to be worth it.
