I'll never be able to think of Aldershot again without laughing my arse off at that video!

i thought the exact same thing when i read aldershot! That video was brilliant

Was that video set up by a tv comedy program?

am i missing something?

You're missing out on the greatest Star Wars parody EVER!

Let's see now - I live 5 miles away - should I make the journey all the way over there - will take me at least 15 mins........

Guess who has just found he has to attend his firm's training weekend in a couple of weeks

gutted, just got a mail back from the organisers telling me the best place to be as well..

BUMMMMMM

Wow. Very good.

First one is very dynamic, though a bit blurred I think. Shame that you can't really get around the bareers.

Second shot is amazing, just really very very good.
Including the grass in the foreground.

Third one is very fast, nice blur in the background, shame 'bout the cone hiding part of the wheel.

Fourth one is not my best favorite, but still decent.

Very well done.

thanx RSC

right now that the trojan has taken a hike from my PC

few more

tried to do a little arty thing with the camera.. upped the shutter speed and apparture and zoomed in on the car as it was comming towards me


yes i did nearly mug him


another corner shot


the older cars seemed to have much better acceleration (or the drivers were better)


car on show

Really, really like that first one, Yojimbo. I'm a great believer in content over the usual concerns of digital imagery - sharpness, that is. That first shot really captures what rallying is all about. Well done, sir. What did you shoot it on and how did you process it? Was the zoom done in photoshop or in camera?

thanx Gottedammerung my first time @ a Rally and didn't really know where to stand for the best pic
the e-mail the organisers sent me of where to stand was inside the arena, which was where i took that image (but also cost money to get to, there were penty of other places to stand which were free..)

kit used on the day was:
Canon Eos 300D (Digital Rebel) 6.3MP
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Macro Super II @ x1.6 mag

this is the original pic with the cropped area

it would hold well at half page in a magazine or as a 7x5" photo..

How do you find the 300d?

its a nice camera if you've not held any of the better canon models.. i went for a day out with a m8 of mine in Cambridge who just took the plunge from film to a 20D. he was complaining that his film pics were coming out better than his digital..

once i held the 20D i knew that the 300D was a toy, the platic exterior just doesn't do it for me anymore + the black case just makes u look that little bit more professional..

its a nice camera don't get me wrong, but i'd rather be walking about with a black bodied 20D
