Thought i would limit myself to one position and one lens to try to capture as many of the riders at the first round of the Scottish Downhill Association's first race of the year as I could (so many ask do I have a photo of them and invariably I don't 
). I lasted through practice and first runs but went for coffee and food for second runs (need buns).
Anyway it was a good exercise if a little tiring. Hardest thing was staying mentally active as it is surprising how you can switch off and have taken half or dozen duffers before you realise it!
All 447 succesful shots were shot manual exposure and manual off camera flash (although some were out of range of flash as will become clear).
#1 There was great light early on but really difficult to get the brighter riders right. Great when you did..
#2
#3 What's he up to then?
#4 Naw! Stay on yer bike!
#5
#6 Then the light went flat
#7 My boy! Good to see him, always, even better when he's flying
