Thanks for looking

Old school motorsport type photography eh

I wish they would let me lay in the path of oncoming Rally cars to get the ideal shot!!!


Nice work, like the action and the anticipation too

[Blukoo]

Brilliant shot!
Well done for standing your ground for so long

[crmcatee]

Ah the old - Last thing a rambler sees shot..



Nice, although it looks like the snorkel has become detached.

[crmcatee]

Probably 2nd Gear, Low box, Pedal to floor..

If you look carefully you can see the passenger laughing!

Sorry, can't remember the settings. The EXIF is still in the image, I just don't have the tools here at work to view it :thumbdown:

17mm!!! it must have been on top of you. I was expecting 150-200mm

Were you hanging out of the back of a vehicle travelling in front of the Disco?

That's the only way I can see you being able to get that with a 17mm lens without getting hit.

Nope, We spotted the water and stopped about 20ft before it. I jumped out and ran to where this pic is from, probably about 20ft the other side. Then I told him to go as fast as he could to get the biggest splash.

This is another at a different focal length (check EXIF - I can't)



He managed to stop about 1ft off where I was stood I'd already legged it by then

BTW the top pic has been cropped slightly, didn't mean to mislead

You were miles away for that one...it's 19mm!

To see the exif data download the free software I linked to...then you can right click an image and near the bottom of the dropdown menu click on View Exif. Simple.

Seconded!


Nice pic though...and nice subterfuge on the crop...

[bulb763]

A-ha, just checked and the only cropping I did was to make them into panoramas, so both are full width Subterfuge completely incidental

I got this footage on the Roger Alber Clark Rally last November...

You wait 1 minute 17 seconds for a rally car, then 2 come along at once!
