I would trust Neil's instinct personally, I'm sure he will do a great job of it.

A couple from me from each of the different types of Clio, Justin has already posted my Ph1 efforts so these will do nicely... Best of luck mate, quality seems much higher already this year :)

How many R27s have actually been sold? Run was set for 500 but there don't appear to have been many sold. Even the Trophy was heavily discounted towards the end of its run, so this doesn't surprise me.

^^^ Sounds like a plan at the Airfield then, hope the weather is nice :)

Not bad for a standard lens ;) Awesome work.

Top stuff, pics 1 and 2 do it for me, nice location you've found as well.

I've got to borrow cars for photoshoots now ;) 2 years ago I was buying fancy car mats for my Cup, today I bought a toaster for the new house! I think I would still go for Red if I ever had the money (i.e. won the lottery), looks awesome in the metal, although Yellow is a very close second.

On the track I do, they're easy to get right! Will organise something in the future Dave, bit of a drive though isn't it?! I was thinking actually that if somebody wanted one 'done' we could park a car over out the way at the airfield and take a few snaps whilst the track is being set up...

That would look bloody awful imo!

Yup, all pics with the 6mp Nikon D50, wide-angle/distorted stuff is with the Sigma 10-20, the nice sharp normal pics are with the 50mm 1.8. Not too expensive really, £300 for the D50, £300 for the 10-20 and £80 for the 50mm. The 50mm is amazingly sharp, I shot handheld all day and the detail...

This one and the last one have been shopped, the rest are 100% original. All I did was draw a circle around the car, invert it then de-saturate...that takes the colour out of the background nicely and puts emphasis on the Liquid-goodness :)

Steady is allowed when you've got solid suspension and are driving on roads that a 4x4 would have a rough time on :)

The D80 would last you a long time, and the extra quality and reach of the 18-135mm kit lens with that would ultimately mean you probably wouldn't need to upgrade your lens for a while (if ever), so it may be a cheaper investment in the long run. D80 is very well regarded so if you did really...

Colour is an absolute b**ch to correctly photograph, was hoping for a cloudy afternoon but the sun kept popping out. Has quite a strange green hue to it in places when it catches the light, gave up trying to capture it as it just looked overexposed. All I need now is nice colourful Vee, an...

Me and Matt182 had a late afternoon jaunt around the Wiltshire countryside (and Industrial Estates) today in his Liquid Yellow R27. After shooting 4 silver cars over the past couple of months it was nice to have a bit of colour to work with... Full gallery...

Nikon D50, was supposed to be upgrading to a D300 soon but just bought a house, so I hope my trusty D50 lasts me a good while yet (already on 20,000 shutter cycles!)

Especially in rain, I HATE people who switch them in during a rain storm at night, how is it going to help?!

Nope that's my dipped beam and fog lights. I would only have full beam on in thick fog if I had a serious death wish!

D40 (the first one) has a 6mp sensor, the D40X (slighty more expensive) has a 10mp sensor but other than that is essentially identical. D80 has some slightly more advanced features, but as a DSLR newbie I doubt you would benefit from anything in particular considering the extra cost. The...

Was there ever any doubt? I can't remember too many people being unsure about this ;) Unless visability is less than 100m you shouldn't be using them, and even then they are pretty much useless, in 7 years of driving I've only found them genuinely useful once, and that was when navigating a...

After spectating at other points around the circuit for the past few years I've been at Quarry pretty much all this season and have therefore seen more than my fair share of crashes (probably 50+), despite having my camera in hand all the time I have never actually been quick enough to catch...

Quality, every mile in this is a bit of extra life for the Cup though, so it's all good :)

I assumed you wanted Diagonal fish-eye (i.e. image fills the whole, er, image), and not circular (where you literally have a circle with a black background and the image inside it)...?

Nikon 10.5mm is one option, no auto-focus (almost irrelevant with fisheye anyway) but metering and exposure all work fine. £399.99 Some samples, I think this is still the only fully DSLR compatible fisheye available on any system Sigma 10-20 (about £300) is the other option, not fisheye but...

R3 is a standard delivered Rally Car ready to run, built to the new FIA regs ('R3'!), 230bhp. Top pics, Canon's kit lens never reviews very highly but those pics are excellent. Nice work.

Press cars were HS53 or HN53 I think. Both are Portsmouth area plates. HS53 LGZ certainly did the rounds.

Great pics. If you don't mind me being a bit critical, it looks like the camera moved a bit during most of them so you may want to weigh the tripod down with your bag or something if you can, should improve the results no end if you can really keep it perfectly still. Also switch on the timer (3...

Excellent! The track-day sessions at Rallyday are one of the most spectated public track sessions in the country, best of luck ;) I will be sure to get some nice pics.

199% down to driver. Seen enough Renaultsport Clio's (even heavily uprated ones) on track to know that driver is everything. I still think some decent tuition (or lots of practice) is far more valuable than any mods.

I guess this is why you phoned? Wished I had hung around now! Lovely pics anyhow, super sharp. Tripod?
