Ahoy Folks,

Something a little different for me. I had the choice of Supercars at Eastern Creek, or a 4WD club meet. I chose the later. It's still going on, but I'm home thawing out.

Thought I'd post a couple for C&C. This is something I haven't photographed before. Fast shutter speeds are okay, as the vehicles are to slow for panning anyway. Lighting was difficult as I was shooting from in the shade into either full sun, or mottled light. I think I will have it worked out a bit better tomorrow.

Anyway, enough waffle, heres the images:

Please feel free to comment.

:D

Apologies for the watermarks.

(Edited to put in watermarks).

I think you've done a great job, Alan. You could be in great demand from the four wheel drive mag's. :D

Thanks for the comments guys. I was fairly happy with the results from the day, but a little annoyed as I had to use wide aperture settings due to very low light. Shallow DOF doesn't usually lend itself to well to motorsports.

Jeff, no Pit girls. The balls in your court for that one this weekend.

Thanks mate, I wish. A few clubs have asked to use images, which I don't mind.

Thanks all!

Great shots Alan. Number 2 is definatley a standout for me. The area on the right of the wheel arch in the corner of the door almost looks computer generated. The detail is quite surreal. I love it.

Number 3 for me here Allan, although they are all superb :D

Love the narrow depth of field, love the landy up to it's waist in water, it almost looks at home

:D :D

Nice shots as well Alan.
