Brands Adfest/BSB Practice.

[GAZA62]

How many add boards do they need arrived early Friday morning be greeted with 3 Nissan signs on the grass at Clearways no chance of some nice group shots with the bikes lined up dropping back down the hill I kept on my way to Druids to start the day but no chance of a shot looking back up the hill from the inside all I could see was the riders heads above the add boards WTF.

Decided to stroll back to Clearways and just watch till later was not a happy bunny but once I had got myself out of Victor Meldrew mode I settled into the press hole in the fence ready for the afternoon BSB practice session all was going well until they decided to come along and set up the camera (I don't believe it as Victor would say) they were not there long and I could shoot around the camera getting some nice shots as the light changed finishing the day with a much needed pint at the Kentagon.

Saturday I based myself around the Druids area inside and outside then I just sat and watched Quali

Here's a few I took thanks for looking.

Really like #2. Good stuff.

 

[suggs]

all pin sharp mate, bet the rider in #4 needed an underwear change !

 

[PINNACLE]

Great mix of quality photos.

 

[Az_GTi]

4 is a great catch buddy, nicely done!! And yeh the ads are annoying, even the ones not directly in your way spoil the background or block a pack shot (e.g Paddock). I struggle with that too.

 

[Neil.]

Agreed, great catch in #4 from a pin sharp set ​

 

[cjt2011]

Great set of images ....

 

[Mikesphotaes]

Good stuff with 4 the unusual winner for me, although I do like 3 too.

Really impressive set- all in sharp focus and right 'on the bell'. No 1 captures perfectly the superb skill and timing of the rider- takes me back to my riding days (K1200 beemer) when it was such a great feeling to get the bike well over at high speed, contra-steering, and retaining complete control. No 6 is great too- it conveys so well the thrill and fine judgement need in that sort of situation.

Great mix of quality photos.

Cheers Martin

Pin sharp as usual Gary

 

[andythilo]

Great set!, love No.2. What lens were you using?

 

[Paul Allen2]

Great set, like number 7, great colour and sharpness.

 

[Russy]

Top shots again Gary, #1 my favourite as there's essentially only four main colours in the shot and it makes the image stand out

Cheers Russ was lucky with this one the sun was behind a thin layer off cloud so the light was just right not to harsh.

Great shots as we come to expect from you Gaz, I do like the pov in #2 as it's almost as if you are looking down from a ladder above the rider.

Finally managed a hello at Brands on Saturday afternoon !
