WSB : Silverstone

[Littlenose]

Made the pilgriiamge up to Silverstone for the weekend... man is it hard to get decent shots on the international track... here's a couple i got at the hairpin... i'll be glad in August when they come back to Brands.

1. Yukio Kagayama
One of my favourite riders from back when he was in the BSB. He quallified on pole position, and it was great to watch him in race one, after a crash right infront of us, he got back on and pull back several places. Race two he just couldn't keep the pace at the front... and finished in 7th.

2. Fonzi Nieto
I noticed that my catalogue of pics was lacking in the "out of the corner" department... so here's a power wheelie pic

Love the 2nd shot! Nice work! Very sharp, you can see the chain curling off the bottom of the front sprocket and the detail on the front Ohlins forks and Brembo brakes is awesome. I would love to see a large version... http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

snowrdr... cool, glad it's of use... hope you don't mind my advertising on the fairing ;-)

loon... yeah, it's not easy there... there was a place in luffield that was ok, but i needded a longre lens... maybe next year huh.
I was using the 300D with the 75-300mm USM lens... it does me fine for now.
I think that was taken in TV mode... the time setting at 1/250th sec, f7.1 and at a focal length of 210mm
