Hi,

After you open the link, insert Rea into the search box and you find his placement and various lap times.

Regards,

Peter S...
Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach

Hi Lily,
I use a Canon Eos 400d with the 18-55mm lens that comes with the camera, along with a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens. The image stabilizer lenses may cost a bit more but they're very good...

No I didn't speak to him... I think he got camera shy and jumped straight into his car...

I just managed to get one other photo...

Thank you Martyn for the pictures. I'm glad Chris looks good and most of all: healthy! I hope he'll tour again and publish a new album, soon.
Take care,
Chris

Thanks Martyn,

Same here.... :D

Canon 40D, w/28-135, and EF 75-300.

Yes, stabilizers make a huge difference, specially in sports mode and manual.

Cheers,

Lily
