wet racing

[fergusd]

An alternative to wide angle, tight telephoto . . . horrible wet day at Knockhill watching the racing (well the competition soon to be) . . . all taken at iso 800 with the D2X in high speed crop (which turns my 200mm into a 400 which is almost long enough), NR filter applied . . . first real experiment with high speed crop at a track, in general focus is uncannily good even in terrible light (these are 'made to look nicer' and do not reflect the dullness) . . . just playing around with the colourfull cars . . .

Nice shots in what looks like pretty poor conditions, I bet those Legends are fun in the wet.

Knockhill is so shelterd and nice inthose conditions

like the pics, just spotted them on flickr as well.
What is the new track layout like?

Haven't been out on track yet myself, just de mothballed the caterham and perparing to get some racing done . . . (acquiring wheels, a usefull selection of tyres, getting fire extingusher systems certified, yada, yada, yada . . . should have started a long time ago this year . . .

Apparently Duffus is more scary (faster) and Macintyres is a much bigger stop . . . and the new surface is very, very grippy . . .
