Hi guys going to Cadwell at the weekend, wheres the best place to get some pics from?

Cheers

Obviously at the top of the mountain. but if you want some 'speed' pics from the side and rear it will be worth a walk up to Chris curve (the big right hander leading down to the gooseneck.

Cars or bikes?

What camera, and more importantly what lens?

Thanks guys, it will be cars and it will be with a Nikon D80, Tamron 70-300mm -4-5.6 f lens and 17-50mm f2.8 possibly.

Depends if it all arrives before I go, this will be my first attempt with my new gear:eek2:

Well warehouse express have 25 back orders on the D80 and none in stock:cry: So off late night shopping tonight to Jessops and Hopefully get a price match

You'll only get a price match at Jessops if where there matching has it in stock. Try "AJ Purdy" (http://www.ajpurdy.co.uk/erol.html)

Cadwell occassionally has shortages of Marshalls so sometimes have to revert to different circuit configurations, so you may find that your original vantage point isn't being used.

Some sample pics here http://www.motorpix.co.uk/cp3104.htm

Also check out Camera Price Buster - D80 (http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod193.html) for other potential suppliers for the D80.

Thanks guys for the links, I am now armed with lots of printouts ready to try and get my price match.

Hopefully later today I will have a nice shiney new dslr

I'm sure Jessops do a 110% price match on DSLRs, but it takes into account shipping costs as well.

I had my first trip to cadwell this year. It was for bike though not cars so im guessing where bikes look good cars might not.

Any way "The mountain"

Well my first attempt with my camera at cadwell, and to be honest I dont think they are to bad. Improvements will obviously be made once I get used to the camera.
