Nice shots 😀

It's nice to hear about the lighter side of rallying (usually beer related in my experience 😁 ) and not just the event - I love the mk1 shot and the others aren't too shabby either☺

Did your car manage to continue after some magic spannering for the absent wheel?☺ (magic spannering often = swearing, borrowing parts and or people, heavy use of knocking stick, bodging and more swearing)

Regards

Hi Phil

A lot depends on you location, foreground etc

I have not used my 10-20 for sunrises yet as I normally use longer lenses for this.

Isolating a sunrise with a longer focal length can really help the colours as they can be very localised.

My choices are usually my K5 with a 28mm lens (Pentax or Vivitar) and my k10 with a zoom lens often 70-300 sigma variety as it is very good at 70 to 135mm

Nd grad filters can help but are not vital imho - if there are reflections remember to look carefully at this time include or exclude all you want to ☺

Also member tllok look around and not just at the sunrise as the light can be excellent from many angles.

Tripod and release (I use an IR remote) really help but I use the tripod at its lowest setting or use one of my shorter ones especially if there is a reflection to be had.

I don't have either the 35 or 50mm you have listed above, how do they cope with flare etc as this could prove to be important 😀

I hope this helps

Regards


Stu

PS don't forget the hat, gloves, boots etc 👍
