the fan has got a mesh shield in front of it:

I see Andrew has still got my "go faster" stickers on the side :o

agreed! I've got the Nikon version... sample pic :)

I'd say the D50 was the better model as you can use all lenses with it, eg the 50mm f1.8 prime, the D40/D40x can only use the AF-S lenses as they don't have a lens motor in the camera body.

There's a campsite behind the TT Grandstand, Nobles Park, but I'm not sure it's open during TT week. I've also stopped at the site at Cronkdhoo, near Greba Castle on the TT course which was fine (nice pub down the road too). There's a TT campsite near Braddan Bridge, just outside of Douglas...

Nice.... but £500 more than a D200? :dapprove:

aye saw you through the headlight glare :rasp: you won't recognise me this week, car has been washed :o

I prefer cheese and onion flavour.

We'll be going over around 3am or something so there won't be many views... at least we won't see the drops either mind :)

I'm doing a night rally in October that'll go over Wrynose :eek:

buy an SLR with an 18-200 lens?

That was my reason for choosing Nikon as well, the Canon equivalent at the time (300D) felt plasticky and toy-like compared to the D70.

are you using a macro lens? the kit lens won't focus at much less than 50cm away from the subject.

I forgot to say, my pics were taken with a Nikon.

I think the Canon is 400D now? It'll be 450D next week. Nikon is D40x. Best thing to do is to try them both out to see which feels best. 50mm prime lens is excellent, here's one I took last weekend on a portrait shoot with a friend of mine with the 50mm f1.8 lens. also, Sigma 10-20...

perhaps he eats lots of baked beans? wind deflectors were fashionable around 1973 :)

I was about 1/4 mile up the road from that crash, I heard the engine screaming then bang crash silence :S That Clio was for sale a few months ago, he wanted £95k for it :eek:

I was half considering entering it but my rally car needs some work on it before it's out again - it got a bit hammered on the last event I did. St Wilfs has it's own photographer I think so no point photographing it. I might be doing a portrait shoot next Saturday, if not I might head to Epynt...

Christopher drove past me today but I don't get a mention :dapprove:

Go out of Castletown past the airport to Derbyhaven, 90 right before you get to the little port, past some houses then 90 right/90 left into a golf course, follow that road down :) If you're interested the other pics are at Point of Ayre and Sartfield hairpin (on the Brandywell cottage road).

South of Castletown on the "white" road (if you're familiar with OS maps!) that goes to Langness Point :)

Nikon D200, polarising filter on a couple of them.

another one from the ruins... which were actually on the road down to Clarkson's house :eek:

Regular viewers will know that my car is never clean :)

I was over on the IoM last week photographing the rally so did a few Clio shots while I was there....

It was going well in Hafren a couple of weeks ago :)

It's a Mk 2 shell, there's nowt much else Mk2 about it though!

Re: Cannon Warranty repairs 4 weeks is fairly short as repair times go, if there's any major sporting event on repairs can take months as Canon/Nikon send a lot of their technicians to the events for the "pro's". Doesn't say much for their confidence in their products in my opinion. Find out...

Wow he's spent £45k on a Mk2..... doesn't make him the governing body of motorsport in the UK though, that's the MSA and their site says you need a licence for Nat B road rallies. As I've said already the only ones you can do without the licence are closed to club 12 cars and "invited club"...

the exposure of the pics looks ok but if you are taking shots with the headlights on the camera will think it's sunny hence the head on shot is underexposed, so use the camera in manual mode or use spot metering on the centre of the grille rather than the whole car in these cases.
