Regards, Chris.

The days of 'STOCK CARS' have long gone as you can see from my photos.

The cars these days are all 'specials' hand built from the ground up, with a price tag to match too.

Regards, Chris.

These are something very different for me to photograph.

Good, bad or indifferent, what do you all think?

K20d + Siggy 50-200 HSM OS lens.

Thanks All, I love it already.

Just put my first shots in 'Your Photos' area.

Very First Shots With My New K5 - F1 Stock Cars @ Coventry - 6th August



These are the very first shots from my new K5.

I'm really impressed with the AF speed amongst other things. I know it was a big outlay but I think it's going to be worth it.

K5 + Siggy 70-300 APO lens.

All taken from the back of the grandstand, the weather went from showers to dry then very cloudy to bright sunshine.

The drying track created lots of dust ( glad I was in the grandstand at the back ) but the K5 didn't seem to struggle focusing throught it.

.......I'm sitting here looking at a nice K5, can't wait to get out over the weekend and give it a try out.

Regards, Chris.

I had a go at panning at 400mm through the safety fencing at Buxton Raceway 24th July 2011.

They don't look to bad to me.

K7 + Sigma 120-400 HSM APO.

Here are a few Brisca F1 Stock Cars at Birmingham Wheels, July 23rd 2011.

Struggled a bit with the sunlight for most of the meeting.

Motorsport is my passion, mainly BriSCA F1 and F2 Stock Cars, but I'll also photograph banger racing and sometimes grass track racing.

I'm out nearly every weekend during the racing season, sometimes 2 meetings a weekend.

Regards, Chris.

I've cropped them quite tight as these are a few of the ones I've sent to Stock Car Magazine for ( hopefull ) publication. The majority of the ones I've had published in the past were also tightly cropped.

Regards, Chris.
