Hey Jase, yeh not bad i guess sun as i said was a bugger at times shadow on wrong side of the bike, but yeh for these shots:
600m F5.6, iso 160, shutter 1/800 1st pic 2nd 300m and yeh back to normal 1/400 as bikes coming head on you can use a higher shutter as you cant see the wheels too much.
Ok the quality is down as resized but yeh was ok.

Cool! The 1st pic really has great DOF and makes the rider stand out more. I forgot you had a teleconverter. Great use of it, mate!
Yeah, the sun can be a real biatch at times casting dark shadows and washing out the colour. I guess you just have to work around it sometimes.
Have a good weekend, matey. Can't wait to see some more pic's!

Thanks Matey, yeh just had a shower and yeh well there will be more pics and thought i would just go shoot with 300m today tomorrow i will hook the sigma up and hit some of my usual spots, so many bikes makes it hard as ppl say looked at site and only 1 pic of them, well that happens.

Oh well if it gets too hot tomorrow i will pull out early but will take esky with bag of ice and yeh drinks lots.
Cheers
