Club bike racing - at least no rain (56K alert)

KennyG · 9th of October 2005 (Sun)

Croft race circuit today for some club bike racing. Unlike the Aston Martin meeting yesterday, today was dry. However it was bitterly cold as the wind whipped across an open track. These are a bit of a mixture from the day and from various locations around the circuit (non-media, guess where the less obvious are). I'll get the hang of these two wheeled things one day.

Awesome pics. Good job. I want that lens

Love the fall colours on the track... gives a since of time and place. Please don't improve too much, you'll make me all that more discouraged with my own meager tallent..... cheers.

'Tis a shame that you really don't know what you're doing with these bikes.

I love #6 for the intensity of the capture and #8 for the beauty of the picture.

Get the hang of it someday?!?!

These are some of the best I've ever seen here!!

Excellent stuff.

Very nice, Ken. It should be a rule that only clear visors are allowed. The photographs are much better when you can see the eyes.

Nice set of shots Ken. Not back from Nottingham in time to make it along on Sunday. The riders might not have appreciated them, but I like the fallen leaves in some of the shots you've posted. Adds more atmosphere to the shots and helps place the time of year.

Simon.

More great shots.

I like them the colors come out nice on them. Good use of shutter speed nice blur on the wheels. I really like the facial expressions on 6 the guy in the yellow helmet really looks focused.

GSH · 10th of October 2005 (Mon)

Lovely stuff !

If only i could turn out shots like that whilst getting the hang of shooting bikes

I was planning to go to Croft for this myself...practice, practice, practice etc, but as my work car decided to blow it's engine last week i'm in economy mode for a few weeks until i know what the financial damage is..

I'll be there for the RallyCross though

Just curious as to which lens your referring to.

Nice work Ken. Like Skip, #6 & #8 appeal to me the most.

I have an opportunity to add a couple of the BSB meetings to my list of major events next year and have used the club racing to keep my hand in. To be honest I did cover a bit of bike racing a few years ago for one of the northern newspapers but got sidetracked when I bought a Formula Ford and started racing myself.

I'm going to repeat myself ... I don't look at many motorsports images any more because they are simply boring ... but I gotta say that I look at everything of yours ... there is simply something more compelling and juicey about your images than most everyone else ... I was actually leaning in my chair to compensate for the corners looking at these.

I am sure Ken would get some good angles on a snail race.
