A moist day at Castle Combe

[ukaskew]

Last day of the season at Combe today so I dropped in for a short while, illness is causing problems with my camera holding abilities so it was a case of do the best I can in short bursts. Entertaining weather, seeing the rain start to come down whilst the monster Jags were racing was quite a sight, they would have put some drift events to shame!

A few pics...

Yes it was. first time I've ever tried it, didn't realise how close you could get to the fence so it worked quite well.

Old Paddock was very entertaining, a few of the Evos were completely sideways for a few seconds around there on every single lap. Jason Cooper was the star though, immense wet weather driver.

I don't think there's such a thing. You kinda get hooked.

Right, click, properties, change the URL so the bit before the .jpg is an 'O' instead of an 'L'

What setup are you using mate?

Nikon D50 and a Sigma 120-300mm 2.8. Camera was a bargain (about £100 off here), lens not so much, that cost £899.

Cheapest way in is something like a second-hand D50 (usually about £150) and a Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 (about £90), with a lot of practice you can get results fairly similar to what I've posted above, particularly the panning shots which I could replicate pretty much exactly with the cheaper Sigma lens.

Think you looked at my Bike thread in this section, my 350D cost about 150 quid then i have a cheap sigma 70-300mm paid 80-90quid for it. And you can see the results i am getting
