I spent the weekend freezing my but off down at the MotoGP at Phillip Island (it was well worth it)

here are a few sample images I managed to capture
I'll post a link to a bigger gallery later in the week when I have time to go through the 4,500 images I took and upload the gallery

all taken with D200, 70-200VR (some with 1.7 TC) I ran manual exposure all weekend as I'm starting to get better results that way

Colin Edwards, flat out Doohan corner (turn one)


Casey Stoner, leaned over in Siberia (turn six)


Frederico Sandi 250 rider, coming off lukey heights down to turn ten


Valentino Rossi blasting through the Hay Shed (turn eight)

Keith, these are really good mate. I hope you are happy with them.

Really like Stoner coming out of Siberia, you can see the concentration in his eyes. Also, the image of Sandi on Lukey Heights is great. Fantastic colours, saturation, sharpness, everything. Well done!

Keith,

What Alan said. You should be thrilled with these.

mate, that casey stoner shot is unreal!!! awesome

Luv the stoner one, esp because you can see the white of his eye. Great shots.

very well done...look forward to seeing your gallery

Sensational Keith, can't offer much critique as they're all awesome.

Love them, as with most of the others my pick is the World Champion!
I never noticed the "00" that he has between the "27"

First race with the 00 as in 2007 Champion :>

I don't think I will bother posting what I took looking at those my are pretty poor compared.



But that is my favourite for the weekend. I am mostly happy with what I got with the equipment I had. I decided that I wanted to watch the racing more than take photos anyway.

Fantastic Keith

I'm no expert in bikes or even racing, but these look pretty good.

Number three is an absolute G E M!!

Dan

great images keith.....i wouldn't have minded freezing my but off for shots like these.


cheers pa

Excellent shots, cant pick these to bits

I don't think I will bother posting what I took looking at those my are pretty poor compared.

You missed the point. this isnt a contest ... post them and find out how to take them better next time.

Very very very well done!

I am suitably impressed and jealous! I just love shooting bikes!

Awesome.

Colour, clarity, composition - all great. #2 is my pick simply for the eyes, what these guys do is amazing.

Every bit of me is now itching to be financially irresponsible and buy a bike again...

Really like the first two... That second shot should be used to show a lot of new riders how far over you can get if you try!

Ant.

Some great shots there! thought i would add mine (as drunk as i was) now i need to get some dust outa my camera......dust bunny came as i was a tad on the drunk side when changing lenses and must have been a tad careless
I was going to take my shots at Siberia...but there was not even really enough room to spit so i ended up over between 11 and 12

o yea found the best seat in the house
wonder how much it would of cost to be sitting there for the big race!

Love the casey stoner shot, where you can see his eyes..

great images

Congrats Keith, these are outstanding. The one of Stoner is a classic in a classic season.

Love them all and well done as didnt make it this year so any pics i see are all good and yeh great job.
Cheers
