Possible one of the worse weekends I have ever had since I started covering motorcycle racing. The rain doesn't bother me, in fact quite the revers it adds a nice dimension to the entire event, however, I most probably should've have stayed home as I was horribly sick all weekend. A quick note of thanks to Ken, who kept an eye on me during the entire rain, thunder, lightning, tornado warnings and no we don't have any salad for your sausage in a bun fest weekend.

    Andrew,

    More winners even with lousy weather...

    My favs: #'s 3 & 5 thumb.gif

    My first ever criticism, #2 although a classicly (is that a word?)
    and uniquely 'maczippy' perspective...I have to search for the bikes themselves a little too much :cry

    remember without our health we're really 'up a crick' so to speak
    get healthy!! please - I need your continued inspiration! :D

    Great shot of Yates. The last one in the rain looks just like fog. Fantastic

    Hope your feeling better. MidOhio is coming.

    I used to dream of all things Nikon, then I got the bill.

    That's it, I'll NEVER post another phto again..I'm crushed!! rolleyes1.gif

    Well, I checked and it looks fine on my umpteen monitors, that's not saying your point isn't valid either...it was quite dark...

    As alway, thanks for checking them out!

    Well, as we all know if it rains at MO, we'd all better bring colouring books as there will not be any bikes on track...!

    I dig 2 and 3.

    #2 I didn't even notice the bikes until an above poster mentioned them. I just like the composition..... and I really like fisheye type shots.

    #3 The gray background from the clouds just makes the image pop. Almost looks like it was shot in a studio with a backdrop.
