Thanks john,

Good luck with the Island glad they got back to you and approved your accreditation. Look forward to seeing your results. For some reason I have a heap of shots of bike #29.

Thanks John, the eyes do make the difference. I was glad to see that not all the riders like the darkened visors.

Thanks for stopping by and the comment Ozimax.

Nice shots. Getting a decent shot of a quickly moving bike is not easy. I like the last, good panning to show the movement and the front wheel up shows the power.

Thanks Craig,

A fast moving bike is a real challenge to shoot, but great fun.

They are great shots and thank for sharing them with us. I would be as happy as larry (whoever that famous larry was...) if I ever managed to take anything like any of yours, but all of them are exceptional. I hope you managed also to have a good time.

Wow, thanks for the comments zafra. I had a blast with these guys. I am looking forward to the next chance I get of photographing some motorcycle action. I am glad yu enjoyed the shots.

Good shooting Dave. My favs are #1 - as you can see the concentration of the rider and especially #4 - great detail and action. Cheers, Mick

Thanks for the comments Mick. Glad you enjoyed them.

Hey David, I really like the first and last photos, the first one is good because the bike and rider are really sharp and you can see his eyes clearly and the last one because it conveys a great sense of speed and excitement. Good job!

The last one really does give you a sense of a lot speed. Great photo, definately my fav of the lot.

got to say though not a bad way to spend a couple of days watching these boys do their thing.

Thanks Poompy,

Was a brilliant way to spend a couple of days. I can recommend that if anybody wants a challenge, try and photograph these guys.
