went to try out the new Tamron 11-18mm wide angle lens today and ended up at curborough sprint circuit near lichfield for a VSCC sprint event. The VSCC is the Vintage Sports Car Club. There was some very interesting machinery there and it was good to see them being used as they were originally intended and not tucked up in a museum

Haven't had too long to sort through but here are some initial pictures from the wide angle lens. They are far from perfect, but I'm pretty pleased with the results. It's probably not the best lens for taking static shots of vehicles really(although I like how some of them have turned out), but it was fun seeing how close I could get to some of them and still fit the whole thing in

I've tried a couple of HDR shots too.
Most of these haven't been cropped at all. I'll post more during the week if anyone is interested in seeing them in action etc.

By the way, that first car is an absolute Monster.........based around a 1929 8 litre Bentley but with a 24 litre Napier sea lion W12 engine fitted producing around 550 BHP (apparently). Yes, you read that right - 24 litre
