Nice pics, right on my doorstep and never bothered going

danja

Thanks Dave, and your right, far too good for rallying lol.

PT, should have gone mate, was a top day out, weather was bang on and the action was perfect!

PT

Yeah I bet, I was driving up by Dyfnant on Saturday and there were some stunning cars heading back to Welshpool

danja

There sure was, the HQ and Service was based at the Livestock Market in Welshpool, lovely seeing such fine cars out on the open road

Hi mate please could you e/mail a copy of the escort URP 70S
Cheers Paul

danja

Sadly I missed Breenes Fiesta, guessing that went round after 3pm with the last lot of cars?

Allyc85

Great start with your new lense bud!

Breene went out after stage 2 with fuel pressure problems I think it was. The new Fiesta is proving fast but very fragile at the moment.

Big G

Proper crisp clear quality photies
Have they been fettled or straight from the cam?

danja

Thanks for the link ally!

Big g. Thanks mate, the pics were RAW, then edited as jpegs once basic corrections were made and levels adjusted to get a nice balance of exposure. Sharpened then uploaded, pretty standard post processing as far as fettling is concerned lol

foreigneRS

superb - lovely and clear but with a slow enough shutter speed to capture the wheel motion

Small example!

danja

Nice vid Dan, shows how much Joe thrashes it eh lol. He emailed me recently after some images, looks like I'm going to be doing some in the forthcoming events for him so he has a collection

The Rowlands car was superb to see, as said he showered us with gravel when he came past, here's the pic...you can just see my hi-viz jacket towards to the top right of the shot lol - you can also see the gravel mid-air heading towards me lol

you where standing near us then, i was just up the next straight on that hairpin (ish) left!

danja

I know which you mean,

Good section to view there wasn't it!

WongRS

iTrader: (11)

it was! could see quite alot of action for a change
You doing the woodpecker and plains too?

danja

Agreed, the view from where we stood towards the hairpin and higher points looked good, imagined you'd see a good amount from there.

Yes I'm at Woodpecker and Plains, aswell as Quinton & Cambrian too.

I did Plains last year, but they ran a different part of dyfi to Bulldog, although I liked Bulldog better lol.

Give me a nod nearer the time

danja

Oh, and Dukeries too, that's always a good day out in the Sherwood Forest!
