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

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.

Great action shots!

Postby zafra52 on Sun Sep 10, 2006 6:16 pm

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.

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!

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.
