Default Valenteno Rossi in 2001

I am currently scanning huge quantities of my old slides; these are from the 2001 UK MotoGP @ Donington Park. They were taken with a Canon EOS 1V and were the last major occasion that I used film. The end of an era!

wow they are really great. #2 does it for me the most. Glad your film camera got a great workout on its last legs.

Neil, I really like the color and warmth of film..It really looks "different" that the digital shots.

Stu, that is an amazing image!

Stu that is an excellent shot...

The film was Fuji Velvia and it was scanned using an Epson Perfection V750 Pro Scanner. (Click on the names for links.)

Neil those are simply awesom shots!

Not only was it the end of your film era but the end of the 500cc stroke era! (I'm sure you know this)

And now...even all of these photos are out of date as they start the season with 800cc machines!


Here's a few I had the pleasure of taking at the USGP in 05.
