    Unfortunately it seems that Chris Walker won't be racing with Rizla Suzuki again. Neil Hodgson is testing with Rizla this week and the rumour mill seemed to think that stalker would be sacked. I got lucky with the photo, most of the shots from this angle focused on the spray and the riders were out of focus headscratch.gif

    Good exposure, would have been nice if you could have shot from the front, backs are boring unless something is going on like a crash or something to pull you into it........ The ones from the front are nice but one is too tight and the other is too loose..... either way I wish I could have been there,Im jealous...:cry

    I shot from the back so I could capture the flames from the back of Walker's bike. I was at another part of the track in the morning and could see the flames coming from the exhaust when he was going into corners. I think I got a reasonably good pic of him, the reflection of the flames on the ground, spray from the back tyre and properly exposed. The other pics from this vantage point showing the riders from the rear do demonstrate the conditions they had to ride in to qualify.

    I know photography is subjective and everyone is entitled to their opinions. I do appreciate you offering your opinion but I disagree with you. I don't think the pics are boring.
