My idea of sport generally involves fast cars, here are a selction of photos I've taken since 2002 on World Rally Championship events in Great Britain and Germany. This type of photography has its own set of skills, and has taken a little time to master; typically people associate high shutter speed and fast film with motor sports - the fast film might be true but shutter speeds need to be in the mid ranges for most shots so as not to completely freeze the action.

Until 2007 I had real difficulty using a digital camera for this type of shot, the ones I used up to that point took too long to "settle" and then delay taking the shot slightly when you fire the trigger.
