Looks like a fantastic place to get pictures. I really must try some of this blurred effect, can really enhance the car against an otherwise busy background.

That is excellent.For a second or two I thought that Jim Clarke was at the wheel.
I'm not sure Jim Clarke ever had ears on his helmet!

Lol didn't see that! Never quite understood why people do that!
Just a bit of fun. Another side of going to an event like Prescott is you can walk all around the paddock area as well.

70 - 200 f?? according to flickr
Ah yes that old chestnut! I've just won a Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD Lens for Canon for £230 intended for some more Motorsport and football. Been using a friends 100-400 L f4 and found f4 to be useable in most situations.

I love the facial expressions captured on some of these pics of sportsmen!
edit: Actually it was the Sigma 70-200 f2.8. You can pick these up for around £375 second (I literally just sold mine, although it was on Ebay and it went for £430. I sold my older 7D on there as well for £695!).

A quick edit from todays meet at Goodwood.
Thanks for the info!
Pretty much all of my motorsport photography the car isnt fully in focus. The front tends to be in focus but the rear doesnt. Can anyone advise? As a newcomer to motorsport and advice would be appreciated.

Its all about the focus plane. You need a higher shutter speed if you're going to shoot when a car is approaching and want to get more of the car in focus. It's the trade off when using a slower shutter speed unfortunately. I'll see if I can dig up a more technical explanation tomorrow.

I like those Matt, I still haven't managed to get to a rally. In the second that photographer in the foreground must have got a great angle of shot from there!
