British Superbikes @ Thruxton Raceday (busy)

AzzA · 18th of April 2006 (Tue)

I was at a jam packed Thruxton on Bank Holiday Monday for the British Superbikes and supporting races. I've never seen the place so busy!!! Really was hectic. Getting decent photos wasn't easy, huge crowds, marshalls and pro togs in the way, also the bright sun didn't help. Luckily I got quite a decent spot at Club Chicane but I had to camp there all day so not the usual variety I aim for

Here's a few compressed "forum friendly sized" photos...

#1 I like this one because of the reflection off the riders visor

#2 Shakey Byrne storms through the field after recieving a two-row penalty for continuing a lap once the session had stopped! None of could believe he carried on... nutter!

#3 Hawk Kawasaki of Peter Hickman leads the chasing pack...

#4 Double race winner and 2005 Champion Gregorio Lavilla gives the crowd a thumbs-up after a faultless ride...

All great shots but I really like that 3rd one, it's great the way you have caught the line.

Cheers

I like the kerb reflecting in the visor too , must have been tough to get the shots with that crowd

The pack shot (#3) works very well - nice capture.

No#3 is just amaizing, I love the sence of movement it gives me....i love it!

rcg · 18th of April 2006 (Tue)

I like #3 how it shows the complete turn around the corner.

I agree - it's great to watch the various positions of the riders and bikes as they navigate the corner. It's almost like having a superimposed photo of the same rider going through the corner!

these are rocking my friday night!

Nice photos. Love #3, caught them leaning both ways. Beautiful.

AzzA · 22nd of April 2006 (Sat)

Thanks very much guys. I too think #3 is my favourite, nice to have more than just 1 bike in the frame. Only in bikes can you get such a snake effect as they lean through the chicane

sugarzebra · 22nd of April 2006 (Sat)

Wow, the third shot is excellent.

Alan B · 22nd of April 2006 (Sat)

Same for me aswell, loving your 3rd shot

Azza was that you infront of me on the day ? (i had a rucksack on holding a 20D + 100-400 IS L).

I agree about No3. An excellent shot.
