Thruxton BTCC Racing - 18 May 2008
Ahoy!

Well, I've made a start with some images from Thruxton today from the BTCC and supporting races.

Minimal pp (auto levels and usm if required). Converted from .arw (raw) to .dng to .jpeg and reduced/cropped/converted to b&w in some cases.

First outing with Alpha A700 and Sigma 24-70mm EX DG. Also shot with Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro. The latter died of AF motor gear stripping - see separate thread.
