As irony would have it, as soon as the "Big Boys" fired up their bikes, the rain came down.

Looking your pictures I just realize how far my photos are from the top quality. Just amazing shots you have! :bow

I love them all. I especially like the 'big boys' images in the rain. The reflection of color in the foreground is really cool.:clap
Well done on all.

Me too.....those are waaaaaay hot. The focus is intense and the clarity of even the grass along the track is unreal!

Excellent work!

Thanks. I checked your sight. Your shots are very good. Nice, clean backgrounds. However, in many of the shots, you seem to be shooting down at the riders. You might try getting in a position to shoot level at them.

Thanks, Scott. After doing a more thorough culling, I came up with what I believe is my 'Shot of the Day';

Nicky Hayden, top American. :clap

Check out the water spray from the knee pad. :D

Knee dragging.....in the rain. Unreal:thumb

Can I ask what camera and lens you use? I looked at your website and your action shots of kids doing sports are just unreal. As you may have seen in my gymnastics thread, I'm on the steep learning curve of shooting indoor sports.

Great stuff! Your pics are Spot On!

Thanks. I forgot to post that. D300, 300 2.8, with 1.4TC.

awesome man!

Keep it up.

Thanks.

[nipprdog]

Is it MotoGP's new version?
Of which version you provided a screen shots?
Provide me some more of it.

It might be a language barrier, but I'm not sure exactly what you are asking??

Thanks, John.

Thanks, John.

Wow Jim what great shots. They certainly put my panning shots to shame. Did you have special permission to be where you were when you took these shots? What lens were you using?
Cheers
