Ok so maybe amateur is pushing it, now 4th time at a bike event... A great event apart from the ropey weather

I struggled a bit with fences for the first time in a while, glare wasn't on my side when the sun finally came out. Don't think I've done as well as on previous visits, lagging behind the community, Paul especially, who nailed it :D

I'd welcome your feedback folks, I appreciate there's not very much 'racing' in these but I was chasing detail and didn't have the reach to get right into the corners.

Still know nothing about bikes....

I think you've got a really nice set. You got the 'eyes' shot with Ellison and I think the one of brooks is a cracker. Good stuff!!
 
Haha great labelling!!!

I think there great shots, great detail in them! Favourite no6 I think! Just stands out for me

Thanks, I was worried about the amount of contrast, the fence caused some quite funky metering issues


Just one more while I'm going through them...

Along with Paul you do manage to find that detail, I'm well jel, as my kids say . A fine set of motorcycle racing photos ;)
 
Agree with what others have said, the detail in these is top notch, nice and sharp too. Wish I could get the same quality, nice work Jonathan.
 
Fence - what fence? terrific set young man, and the weather just adds to the movement, bravo!!

Another Suprb set, fence issues or not, always the benchmark as far as I'm concerned.

Paul.

Thanks very much Paul, always means a lot coming from other photographers who get the shots I aspire to achieve. I don't think I've ever been a benchmark before :D to be honest I still feel like a newbie in here with so many great images from the rest of the community, I guess it shows if you hang around in here long enough you forget to appreciate your own development when you're constantly focusing on everyone else.

I think the BSB is rapidly becoming one of my favourite series to shoot, I might be turning into a bike fan
:p

LOl welcome to the dark side, like it has been said a cracking set. Mind you that applies to all your stuff these days :clap:
 
Got to be honest Jonathan, they are superb and if i'm being flat out honest, better than many of the professional images that various circuits use for their pages, especially Toyota, 7 out of 10 of their images are boring and dire.

2 , 4 and 9 are fantastic, crisp, clear and bright.

Superb work and far far far better than a amateur :)
 
Very nice. It's been too long since I had a go... Must make an effort next season and will do well to get anywhere near your standard. Well done..:)
