Afternoon all. Here is a few snaps from today's Historic Hill Climb at Mt Cotton put on by the Historic Racing Car Club of Qld.

I stopped taking photos and retired the camera to the car when it started raining and that was at about midday. There was plenty of action after that (like an escort doing the classic "disappearing wheel" trick), but without my camera, those are all just memories now.

the composition of that first shot is just perfect! u can see where he has been and there is plenty of room in front of that beautiful mustang to move into.

that is my pick out of these four

Knowing the track well and knowing the shots that come out of it #3 is my pick. Needs a bit of work PP wise but well done. And the first is a great one!

I was contemplating going up there on Sunday, but spent far too much time out on Saturday and paid for it on Sunday with feeling like crap (trying to shift a 2 week old head cold).

Yesterday was a really good day out, with it being quite overcast the lighting was really good. It was the first time I had actually been to the track there, because the last few times I have meant to go out I've had something else on. I spent the first half hour kind of sussing it out, walking around, and looking for some good spots to take shots. It was a fun day of shooting really.

Do you have any suggestions on how I should PP this shot?

I love pic #1 because it's car porn on 4 wheels - those mustangs ROCK!!

I also love pic #3 because of the timing with the wheel in the air - that's terrific timing!!

Great work - well done!!

If I had of remembered that these were on yesterday, I would have been there as well - DOH!!

Shorty

I think there is another hill climb on at the end of this month... the 27th from memory. I'll be there so I can maximize use of the 24-105 f/4 i purchased today. Winner Winner! Chicken Dinner!

Mustang gets my vote -> nice car, nice pic

Matt hope to see more pics of the next Historic Hill Climb you go to.
