Nicely captured.

Nice shots - but it's amateur. Amature is close to an electrical winding.

[14-7]

2, 3 and 6 for me.

Like the movement in them.

Great shots!
The silhouette one in particular is brilliant.

Thanks everyone for the comments. It's been a while since I have had the camera out for anything motorsports. The shilouette was a. Mixture of a planed shot a shooting into the light but I was happy with the results a my personal fav from the day.

Nice, I like the silhouette as well, what lens was it taken with? There seems to be some CA, easy fix in post though.

Cheers. They were all on a sigma 18-200. Whenever I have tried to look at chromatic abrasion on lightroom I just make it look worse. It seems to be it's best where the sliders start.

Yeah it can be fiddly, usually I find changing it by entering values instead of using the slider (lightroom), as with the slider things tend to change too quickly.

Well done for getting these picked up.

Andy Warhol probably got paid for his 15 minutes - hope it's the same for you.

I only went there as my mate was competing and I've been told that my shots were better than the pros on the day (people will say anything for something free). As a name awareness exercise I was happy for the shots to be used FOC. They are up on the gum ball 3000 site, due to be on the afmx site and also the fmx world online mag.

The day has fast tracked some awesome contacts that I would never have got normally. For unpaid work and a good day out I am well chuffed!!!!
