Hand held at 1/20sec, K20D + Siggy 120-400.
I'm quite pleased with how they came out.

Hopefully going to Buxton again on Bank holiday Monday so I'll try and get some different 'angles'.
Agree with Smegy, all the shot's are moving away from you, would be better with some coming toward you.
I also find these images a little flat. They could really do in my eyes with a levels tweak to bring them to life
Regards, Chris.

Yes they are, it was the first tarmac meeting of the 2011 season.

Exif data is as follows,
All @ ISO 100
All Shutter Priority Mode - I played about with the shutter speeds ( I normally shoot at 1/125sec ) for a few photos to see how slow I could go and still get a decent picture.

135 is nice, I like the close crop, the sharpness and the vivid colour of that spoiler
It's straight from the camera, no cropping etc, only a quick resize for the forum.
Nice shots, but when you go up to Buxton, don't forget to take the little road to Earl Sterndale, dropping down Cheapside between Chrome and Parkhouse Hill (the Shark's Tooth and the Dragon's Back) - fantastic views and the closest features Derbyshire has to Limestone pavements.
Regards, Chris.

I take it those insane angled spoilers are to stop the cars tipping over on the corners :

Do you know of any classic hot rod racing coming up in the near future? As a kid my bedroom walls were plastered with posters of Barry Lee's Escort and George Polly's Anglia and I'd love to go and see some 60s/70s style short oval saloon racing.
Have a look on the Incarace website for more dates.
