Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi,
Took this sequence at a recent Formula Extreme meet at Eastern Creek.Race leader J.Cullen was leading when he high sided,his riderless bike continued into the path of 2nd place rider Cru Halliday,who luckily managed to stay on his bike despite the collision.The grey fuzz in the middle photo is the safety fence I was peering out from,the last photo was my bail out point (and change of undies time)!
thks,Nigel.

Great sequence...I am glad to hear that you bailed out and got yourself out of trouble. Hope everyone is fine after that spill. I am sure the riders involved would love see these photos!

That certianly is a great series, any chance of linking / showing larger versions?

I love the first, classic shot of the rider getting bumped off the bike - awesome shot for a caption, like...'look ma no hands...and no feet' :wink:

great stuff! :up: :up:
