Vibrant colour, sharp and well framed Kevin, as always! Ireally like the last one the portrait seems to have great impact(and I don't mean it as a pun ) contemplation before the battle. Apart from the absolutely covetted D2X what lens did you use?
cheers

Some interesting perspectives you have captured here Mitedo. I like the burn out photos where the back wheel is spinning and the front wheel is still.

Kevin what tne curves or white balance presets are you using for these shots? They are so vivid. You really have that D2X (oh, let my racing heart stop! ) humming sweetly my friend.
cheers

They were probably going up there a bit faster than we were during the Noosa tri the weekend before (if it is the same climb, which it look like it is)

The race is held on a 1.5k part of Gwyndier Drive just off the Cooroy - Noosa rd just out from Tewantin

That is the one.
