Shots taken with an Canon 350d and 300mm F/4 L IS. Levels and Contrast played with in Photoshop, no crops.

Splendid panning there and a stunning set of shots. :thumbs:

I know you said no crops, which is a shame since you've lopped off the odd bit of man/machinery here and there.

Yup, great shots there. Were the first few taken from the old railway carriage at Foggys Esses?

Wish I wasn't working this weekend, I'd love to be there.

Nice work and once again evidence of a good camera being used by a decent snapper.

Lovely work. :)

Only comment i have really is COME ON honda....


Although my blade hasn't got quite as much exotic bling as these boys have on theirs i can still dream....
Being on top in BSB and WSB is it the bikes or the nutters riding them?

Certainly was, it was open today :clap: Thankyou for the kind comments everyone, I have a few there I am definately going to get printed up so it will be interesting to see how the colours transfer across to print.

lovely shots. textbook stuff. Good feeling of motion.
The last one is my fave though.
I like to see the riders, top ones are all great but for me, fired-off a tad too late, as they've gone past you...

Can see that sometimes even a 300mm is too long, forcing tight crops.
Not taking anything away for what you've shot, just some personal observations.
