Mcbunny: I just set it to a 10sec exposure and zoomed out whilst taking the pic (20mm down to 10mm), as long as you do it smoothly it's easy to get a cool effect. Pete: pmsl at the UWA and Mrs. comment, it's really not flattering (yes I tried!) ;)

Bloody hell, was that local James? I keep seeing a pretty nice looking New Clio Dynamique heading into Platinum every morning, looks like it's had a fair bit of work done.

Never use a tripod or flash-gun so wouldn't know, you get what you pay for with tripods though. I just carry a Gorillapod SLR Zoom around if I'm desperate, didn't need it in New York but used it a fair bit in Venice. I can't see the need for a flashgun for travel in all honesty This is a...

I will be in the minority here but I would let go of the standard zoom (17-50 or 17-55) and get a telephoto instead. I use the 10-20 and 50mm 1.8 when travelling and I've never felt the need to plug the gap inbetween them (I just move!), it makes you more creative if you don't have everything to...

hehe, it's a Hasselblad, still pretty much way beyond any Digital SLR and prices are in Clio territory! Most really high-end photography is still film-based.

Thanks for the comments :) I was shooting at 1/15 - 1/25 on Sunday, that was pretty brutal handheld but gave me some interesting results.

I love watching it but we rarely get any events down here, all seems to be Midlands/North. This was the first one remotely nearby I've found this year.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I have, will have a look tomorrow. CC Saloons had it's biggest incident in years last Sunday, 2 drivers, 2 spectators and a marshal injured, and several cars in the car park damaged...

Annie King's pink one?

It doesn't look good high res, I was hand-holding the camera on a fence so I had to bump the ISO up to bring the shutter speed down to something manageable (20 seconds)... http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/173264642-O.jpg

Whilst everyone was at FCS I was a busy lad at Castle Combe photographing the Summer Racing Festival. Britcar and Formula Palmer Audi were the headliners, but the racing in the other series was just as entertaining as well...

I was over the bridge in Chepstow a few weeks ago for the Eurodrift series, quite a spectacle...

Yep it's the Skyline...which isn't actually a Skyline at all - just called the GTR. It was at The 'Ring a few weeks back with the same disguise, testing with a 911.

Nikon D50, love it :) Ash - it rained hard for about 3 minutes in the afternoon, otherwise it was t-shirt weather for the rest of the day.

Aston Martin crash below, silly speeds in those conditions really, darn lucky that any spectators didn't get seriously injured by carbon fibre etc. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kfvYP3WEULA

The wheels looked stunning in real life, really compliment the car imo. I didn't like the rear though, looked messy...

Ferrari P4/5, one-off custom build from Pininfarina and approved by Ferrari. Built on an Enzo (the last unregistered one, I believe) with a complete Carbon Fibre/Glass construction, owned by some US movie chap. and this is one of the cars it was inspired by...

That's a shame. I didn't like to say incase these were particuarly bad samples, but there is no movement in the pics and they don't seem particuarly impressive considering the photographer had press access (i.e. other side of the fence) They've been really good in the past though iirc.

Care to post (or PM) some more samples? I want to see how I compare to a pro! :)

I was fortunate enough to see some of the best racing I've seen all year at Castle Combe yesterday, unbelievably close racing... The Minis in particular were fantastic. These 4 never had more than a second between them for the whole race, 1st to 4th had 0.73 seconds between them when they...
