First off, let me say it was wonderful sharing some quality time with a fellow DGinner "Kenny". What a cool guy. We shared a house just down from the track and had a blast. I cooked each night and we talked shop, and non shop every evening. It was a pleasure.

So here we go a few for now...

There are some odd similarities in these two images me thinks...

Beautiful, Andrew. :thumb

Phillip Island has always appeared to be a great place to work--lots of good angles and backgrounds.

Ive been there many times harvey...great scenery but the place has one huge flaw from a photogs point of view & thats the weather. Its way down the bottom of 0z & sits at the top of the Bass Straight (http://www.doaustralia.com/states/vicimages/Map_Whereis_PhillipIsland.jpg). The weather can change totally in mins. Top of the southern ocean.

A whole bunch of good images. :thumb

I especially like the "thumb's up" capture amongst the Ducati crew. I wonder how many realize he's Spanish motorcycling royalty?

The color on the no. 3 Rossi shot is so good it looks as if you're shooting with a different sensor. You haven't slipped a Ds or 5D frame in on us have you? :D

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

I think the good doctor gets a bit more of the spit and polish :D

Very nice series Zippy! I especially like the Rossi picture all tucked over and
such.

:cry Thanks m'dear...

Hey I popped in today! Although I might be off to Valencia next week for the last MotoGP of the year but will know towards the end of this week if it's being paid for...

I actually had some fun in Virginia with a lovely Percheron and took some photos and I managed to get some rather lovely shots of Amish shires too.

I think the bike work has consumed me for the time being - I really haven't stopped since I got back from Oz (this place).

Maybe if someone lured me out to some pasture I might go.

Dang..

Waves look like crap right now (not a surprise, it always is this time of year - they need to move it to January...)

I have a funeral to go to on the East Caost (sadly)...fly out tomorrow, funeral Wednesday, back home Thursday as I'm planning on shooting the ALMS at Laguna Seca this weekend for LAT.

Andrew :0

(but don't let that stop you giving me a shout whenever Ian...)

I went over on Sunday and didn't even bust the camera out. Even headed up
to Davenport for a bit of breaky at Whale Watch. Still no waves...we'll see
what the week holds.

Sorry to hear about the funeral.
