Hahahahahahahahah....

Yeah, were always watching..... :D

Some Great pics here guys, and yeah, Scott, I agree with Neil, those are some good shots, but that portrait was awsome! :lol:

I just wished that I was able to get down for this, but alas, work strikes again, I wouldn't care But I've been in Aberdeen harbour for the last week too!!! :D

Next one perhaps... Although I think that a shiney new lens thats a bit more suited to this kind of photography is in order... which brings me to a question...

Seeing as I am only using a canon 18-55mm lens (Camera is a 350D), (And might have a 50mm lens soon too....) and Need to buy a new one... I know a few of your are using Canon...

Whats your weapon of choice? (for this kind of photography)

Most of my photos at the hairpin were taken with my 70-200 F4 lens, which is very nice to use. Light, fast focussing and you can go from 70 - 200mm with a few inches of wrist movement. Another one worth consider would be the 70-300 lens, which also has IS built in and has a bit more reach.

I've also got a 100-400 which I use for the longer range shots, generally using a tripod or monopod as it's a bit on the heavy side unless you are used to it like Neil is :lol:

You are welcome to try out any of my lenses if you want yo meet up somewhere at some point ?

that would be fantastic John, give me a good idea of the differences between them all.... :lol:

And Neil, WOW! that looks like a meaty setup mate!!!! and quite a bulky tripod also... must be a bit of a pain lugging that about is it?

Colin, Quality pictures! Any chance you could email me a copy of number 18 (P1 and Evo) from your gallery??

I don't think this will happen mate, he's a professional you know, $$ :lol:

I just "borrowed" that image for now, but the lens is the same. I have a manfrotto tripod, which is not quite as bulky as the one in the image :D

nice one, Yeah should have clocked the URL (Do'h!) ah well...

I think thats the thing I'm buying next, is a manfrotto tripod, but again not one that bulky... Was looking at their non geared tripods, perhaps one of those newer ones, (150X I think it was that I was looking at...) But Ive been to bed since.... either way, I need a new one, most of my photography tends to be at night, so really its one of the most important bits of kit for me...

Yeah, I'm rambling now.... :lol:

Message from Angus (blue Masserati Spyder)

How good was Saturday!!?

Excellent fun. I just hope I don’t get too much grief for holding all the 4 wheel drive boys up in the corners! I was a bit cagey about some of them particularly before it dried out later. Nice to really give the car a blast and pretty happy with my performance albeit I reckon I was only ever at about 80%, certainly in the corners.

The bad news is that I think my clutch is starting to go! Oh well, what the hell, you’ve got to enjoy these cars.

I can’t register on SIDC but had a look. Have seen some of the pics that have been posted. Perhaps you could cut and paste this by way of my thanks to John in particular and to everyone else I met and their tolerance of a “relative” novice (NB second time out on track Mark but first with the Maser;)) .

Will need to go and have a squint in the Scottish Elise site to see what they’re saying about the slow git in the poncy Maser…;/

Clicky for the full size originals.
