Yes I have been busy again after initially saying I had no events to attend on Saturday morning, Well these are from York Raceway.

Harness Racing at its best. Even SKY TV were filming this event and I think I got in the act.
Watch Racing on SKY channel 135 S4C on Monday night at 9pm. I was stood behind the fella getting inerviewed by the welsh geezer, I had the 1DMkII round my neck with the 135mm fitted in full view..

Anyway back to the shots.

1. Dusty track.

2. Tight lines.

3. Shout love it'll go faster.

4. Face splattered with mud after the water bowser finished.

5. This cameraman was........

6. Up this tower most of the afternoon..

7. While these guy's had it a bit easier..

8. Sony hardware

9. It was quite warm too.

10. And the resident pro going about his job (chimping)

Mate give us a headsup nearer 9pm tomorrow so we can catch it Look forward to seeing you on it

As for the pics....all good, but number 2 is ace. I love the blur on the feet to show the motion and speed

 

[kamion]

that tower looks unsafe!

 

[Warspite]

He definately dont look to happy on that tower

Would have to be the second here also for clarity of the subject, the blur in the right places - very good

 

[daveyuk]

There's no way on this earth I'd go up that tower thing no way

Great set of shots really like the feel of speed in the first few

Just a heads up for who-ever, This race meeting was televised and will be shown on S4C channel 135 on SKY at 9pm tonight..

It is a welsh channel so anyone who doesnt speak welsh like myself will have to have the subtitles on..

As far as I know I got my mugshot on telly, I was standing behind the guy who was getting interviewed looking innocent as usual..

I have the 1DMkII hanging from my neck.

 

[RickMezza]

Nice shots, esp #2.
ps, I should know really, but what IS 'chimping' and why ? :shrug:

You wouldnt happen to have been wearing a navy blue t-shirt and felt very uncomfortable (and it wasnt a white "L" lens)

No white lens, just the 135mm f/2 prime fitted.
