Jeff,

Nice pics mate. You definetly seem to have your panning down pat. Looks like the images are from the afternoon, it would have been better to get on corners on the sun side to capture the light rather than the shadow, but then, it would probably have been to bright.

I like number 1 the best, the lighting is good and it's sharp. The others are good to.

Good using the 24-120 for the shots, seems to be a fairly versatile lens in the right hands.

Well done mate.

Seem nice and sharp with good wheel blur/spin... Looks like you've got the panning down pat, good job...

Dunno if you could get into the spot or not, but seeing them coming at you while cranked right over would be terrific, maybe being on the exit of a corner???

First-rate panning technique, some strong action shots there.

I'm curious - in the full-size shot of #55 can you see yourself reflected in the helmet?

- may have misunderstood you, but I reckon the safety guys would have a bit to say about a photog who set up shop in anything like an escape/run-off route. *Long* lens maybe?

Thanks guys, but the last few outings have had a high No. of throw aways I must be a bit hit and miss.

Ordinary K I had another look and zoomed in but the reflection is some trees,but well spotted.

Alan the shots were taken late in the day as I had to work today so the Sun was low in the sky casting lots of shadows.

Jeff, you've got some nice clean panning shots here.

They're well framed, contrasty and sharp.

Great shots Jeff. Next time your heading out to EC drop me a line and I'll tag along. I'd love to have a go at photographing the bikes one day.
