The first is a great capture, and shows what these events are like.

Well done.

Yeah the first one has the most impact given so much sand is flying.
The second one is good, but feels a bit static because of the fast shutter speed. That said panning a shot like that would be nigh impossible.
Have you got all the sand/dust out of everything ?

I agree that #1 is a standout shot. It is not easy to get a good shot such as this and I should know. In 1979 I was in the Simpsons Desert shooting 4WDs coming off sand dunes for a magazine. I actually lay at the base of the dune whilst the 4WD went over me - mad or just plain stupid, hard to say but I am still here :rotfl2:

Sadly the photos were destroyed by mildew (transparencies)

I like your pictures, but the first is the best for me. But, the third deserves congratulations.

The first two are epic. Tremendously well captured. Sandproof body I assume?

Thanks for the kind words.
The sand is not too bad actually when compared to the micro fine dust found in our backyard.
Heres a couple more.

I almost missed the addendum (last four pictures) thinking I had already seen them and commented on them. I suggest next time you create a new post Morocco Rallye (2) so people like me don't miss them.
These last four are very good captures as far as composition and colour are concerned, but I love the first two best. Somehow, the first has that sand effect that is captivating; while the second is also very eye catching with that background.

First and fourth images are very saleable to 4X drive magazines as a cover. I'd send them out and test the market. :agree:
