These were taken on a Pentax K-5 with 60-250mm F4 lens.

Funnily enough the body is brand spankers as it was replaced Wednesday under warranty.  :smiley:

I'm pleased with the results.

Thruxton isnt the best place for photography as very little of the track is accessible , and what is was busy with 'space hogers'... we did our best with what we had.  :smiley:

Bloody show offs.  :party:

Hedge your pics seem different for some reason, cant put my finger on it, they seem a lot clearer. Not that your others were not.  :rolleye: as i say cant put my finger on it, but some great shots, especially the first batch of the touring cars.  :notworthy:

Rich you have a serious talent for motor sport shots, most of your shots in this batch would not look out of place in a magazine.  :congrats:

....I was actually trying not to interfere with Louise Goodman interviewing Shaun. I also stayed well out of the AmDMilltek garage while the mechs were desperately rushing to replace the manifold in time!

Which pic are you referring to, Steve?

Someone took this pic with me in it too:
