Pictures from a meeting last month,

I tried out some new places to shoot from around the track. Mostly standing on high banks to get clean backgrounds. I was further away from the bikes and, even with the 400, couldn't fill the frame with individual bikes. Anyway a few for your entertainment. Comments, ridicule and criticism always welcome

1. Rossi wouldn't use gaffer tape to fix his exhaust:rofl

4.If you saw the film "the committments" you will be fimiliar with the saying

"boll*x"

    Your shooting from the right spot thats for sure. Angle looks good.

    Try going down on your shutter speed to introduce some motion blur into the images. Start out at 1/250 and go down from there. thumb.gif

    Thanks for the feedback, the shutter speed was too high to blur the wheels.

    The light was a pig Gus, I was up as far as iso1600 in the morning for the wet practice.

    Hopefully the summer months will bring good light.

    This is why we choose canon mate deal.gif Things are cooling down here of late. I was on the way to work about 6 this morning when i stopped at the lights with the early sun on the buildings in the distance & i remembered what i love about winter...mate it was clarity like i cant believe. I actually reached to see if i had my polarised sunnys on. Winter here is crystal clear.

    yeah, the cold, clear winter days have great light, it's the murky, overcast rainy days that drive me up the wall. Two race meetings this month, I can rule out most of the new places I shot from for these pics. They are just too far away from the bikes. Hopefully I will have a clear blue sky rolleyes1.gif
