Nice photos, i like the Second photo with the reflection in the visor on the helmet it certainly looks good.

Im heading to PI for the MotoGP in october to try my luck at taking some shots of the bikes, never done bikes before so will be interesting thats for sure!

MattyO.

Great action shots and well done on some outstanding results as always. Photo #2 has my vote for sure. Beautifully cropped and as DOCTOR mention the reflection on the visor is super sharp. Also a close runnerup was photo 4. The pic captures the speed these bikes do brilliantly while the bike is so crisp and detailed.

Nice Work

Jase

Matty, after trying to figure out what the 'brush strokes' were, I noticed you have a dust bunny.

In the last images, about 1 inch in front of the front wheel.

Best get that cleaned before KKR...... :wink:

I think these are some of your best bike images.

I like No 2. Something different from the average bike shot. Good reflection in the visor too.

Ironic that overcast lower light conditions produces the best light for nice saturated/contrasty shots.
