Here are some of my Rally Australia pics (Click) I thought I had better go this year since it was their last year in Perth.

There are some bloody nice shots there Rick, well done. One thing, how did you find the dust, is it as bad as it looks on TV, looks like a photographers nightmare!

Thanks... it's difficult trying to get good photos without having a media pass or VIP tickets to get up close to the action. The way they had it set up most of the best spectator spots to take photos were VIP areas so I had to fight with the masses to get anything half decent.

The dust is really bad but I was lucky as the country stages I went to were on the final day and it had rained the night before. I still got dust all over my camera but used the air compressor to get rid it of it all as soon as I got home. Some of the photographers carry plastic bags with them to cover their gear as soon as they have their shot.
