Yes John a lot better - just one suggestion your copyright would look a lot better in one corner and smaller as it does interfer with the look of the pic IMO

John, the shots are great, but I agree with Chris about the copyright - smaller and in the corner would be better. Have you had problems with image theft before?

Thanks Chris and Greg, sorry i have put that there as the riders often come and pinch them, method in my madness is they email me for pics or a lot buy them so yeh, it's not what i normally do but all my bike pics are normally watermarked, for this reason. They only go on my site, onday i must get another host like smugmug or something as this is how they see some and then they email me for the pics.

sikx5 I was using the 80-400 VR without the VR on with some i use and the 70-300 G lens and P
mode, spot metering. shutter depends but 1/160th is more the norm. I dont have an F/2.8 lens yet so make do with what i have.
Cheers

sikx5 All i can say mate is have a play, i would try running in shutter
mode but depends on conditions can be a pain, but yeh shutters between 125 and 160 if you want motion blur but if they are comming straight for you you can user a lot higher because it doesn't matter as you cant see the wheels anyhow to get the feel of motion. But have a play with a few different setting till you find 1 that you are happy with.
Cheers
John
