Two good lenses you've traded in there, I hope you'll get more consistently sharp images with a Sigma than I managed to with the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 :(

Hoping to be there, we've just issued the pre-event press release anyway lol. btw check out www.shelleyrally.com if you want to see a few PugCos pics/videos

I thought the D60 and D40 used the same sensor type so not sure how one is more light sensitive than the other. Ken Rockwell talks bollox sometimes....

SB600 is good, the only problem I've had is that it isn't really powerful enough for some of the uses I have but for normal use it should be fine. The other disadvantage over the SB800 is that I don't think the 600 can be used as a master flash if you're planning on eventually doing multi-flash...

the brakes failed on the last event and it went into a rock face at around 70mph so it's had to have the front end rebuilt. Hopefully it'll be ok, will speak to Shelley (co-driver) tomorrow and find out, but yeah they've put an entry in.

a) yes, but not so many these days as I've got other photography things to do b) previous knowledge or driving the stage the night before - which is why my car is often forest coloured :o ... or for the Isle of Man events I usually drive the whole route just for fun anyway. c) thanks... I...

I don't know yet, it depends if the Pug Cos is ready :S

Some co-drivers use "maybe" to mean "not quite" so "flat left maybe" would be a left hand bend which is to be taken at slightly less than flat out.

Boring fact... one of the pics I posted yesterday in "Some rally pics" was taken on that stage this year at the hairpin right in "flat L 30 HPL 50 HPR"

A selection of my pics from the last year or so :)

You can still see 6R4's in action most weekends on rallies, other Group B cars are demo'ed by the Slowly Sideways Club occasionally.

hardcore...

The Lotus Cortina is still going strong in rallying too :)

I've been using non-Nikon batteries for 4 years and never had any problem. They last longer and were around 20% of the price. And if you do have a problem and are worried about the warranty put the original battery in before you send it for repair?

Peugeot Cosworth... 4TiBtIOnaKc or a 6R4 or a BDA Mk2 or a Clio S1600

I've got one similar to that, Tamrac bags are very good quality.

42,983 on one and 27,547 on the other... one camera ~ 2 years old and the other a year.... and that's with cutting down on rallying this year :dapprove:

yeah, hilarious.

Last Sunday on Epynt oops... Credit to the photographer (not sure who it was)

Nope, a friend.

all with 50mm 1.8 lens and assorted flashguns/reflectors etc

I was in Witham today for photoshoot purposes... saw a couple of RS Clios, didn't notice any stickers mind

Nikon 18-200VR lens... I use this a lot for rallying, excellent lens... downside is that it can struggle in low light compared to a 2.8.

The Sigma 70-200 doesn't compare to the Nikon version in my experience, slower to focus, not as sharp, not as accurate in when shooting high fps... I guess this is why the Nikon is double the price of the Sigma. The only negative on the Nikon is that I know a few folk who've had problems with...

rotate the photo 90 degrees?

The V6 has been rallied on lower level rallies - I saw one on a rally near Wigan, it spent most of the event facing backwards after spinning :S It wouldn't be allowed to contest the British Rally Championship (like the other two are) as it's not homologated for International events and it's...

It's got this on the arse... ... and I'm inclined to agree :)

Thanks for comments, more Clio ones in the Clio media section if anyone wants to see.

Two Clios on the Rally Isle of Man last week... the S1600 finished 7th overall and first in class :)
