Hi All, not sure what these will look like as i am on the laptop so please feel free to tell me as i always process on my crt and the computer that has died. Rebuild coming up next week when parts land here.
No processing here just from camera a batc sharpen and resize with Picasa and uploaded. Shot all day with the Nikon 300f2.8 with Kenko 1.4xtc on.
This one looks a bit dark on here.
Dull wet sort of a day here today.
Cheers
John

pretty damned good rough proc4essing
the first and last, love the detail and sharpness, don't know how you manage

Tires are blurred from movement but everything else sharp as a tack
Well done as we expect from you

John - you always take such fantastic shots !!!! Perfect - feel like I should be snapping my head sideways to keep up with the bike ! I personally like the first one - primarily because of the concentration on the face of the rider, that you can just make out through the visor.
Love your shots (which is pretty amazing seeing I don't like bikes

)

Thanks Rel and Alex, yes i like the look you get sometimes and often they are also watching me at times, but yes it is good when they have a clear visor on as you can see there eyes .
Cheers

Drifter it has been a lot worse and well on these ride days they dont bother to cut it and it has pissed me off more than once, but was not too bad at this moment but i have another big race meeting in 2 weeks time so maybe they will trim some of the edges for me.

I love the first pic as you can see the intense concentration of the rider better. The composition and focus is spot on too.
