Hi All few shots from today. Was ok for awhile as after the rain we had had it wasn't too dusty. All shot with the 70-200 Sigma.
Bit of a long shot this one but gives you an idea how high some of the young fella's get.
Cheers
John

Thanks Alex and John, yes they do get high. I am amazed at the level of some of these lil kids, an old mate of mine's son is like 5 and hell he goes like the wind no Fear. i had 1 lil tacker come off where i was and he couldn't lif the bike up so i went over to him and helped him and do you know what he said? Not worried about his fall he said "Thats a nice camera" got back on his bike and off he went.
Was a good day.
Cheers
John

You are the master of bike shots. You could make a living doing nothing but this.

Hi BBJ,
I will not post anymore photos of moving objects unless it is a racing snail.
I admire your talent and skill of taking these great shots.

Thanks Cd, well mate at least you dont have to worry about focus too much with a snail.LOL But doesnt matter how good i get you always get some that are no good, but thats life. Oneday i will find something else to shoot as i do like doing other things but this is one way to help fund things a bit. The D70 sure does get a good work out thats for sure.
Cheers

Great shots. Amazingly crisp even with so much speed and movement.
These are as good if not better than others I have seen in bike magazines.
Cheers
