British Superbikes & Support at Croft - Sunday.

GSH · 12th of August 2007 (Sun)

A quick post without the usual info..it's late and i'm cream-crackered !

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6. I was there on a VIP pass from the Isilon MSS Discovery Kawasaki team so i got a few shots for them...

#7

#8

All shot on the 1DMK2N & Canon 100-400L. 2 or 3 of them have the 1.4x TC attached as i was travelling light due to the huge crowds.

Thanks for looking in.

1D MKII N then? Got sick of waiting for the MKIII, don't blame you.

Great shots Geoff. Love No2, he must have been looking straight at you

NickR · 13th of August 2007 (Mon)

Geoff, Nice set of images, like the Rutter - Walker shot the best. I guess you would have been happier with your primes?

Cheers

Cheers Peter.

Yep, i got well & truly cheesed off with waiting for the MK3 however that wasn't the main reason i cancelled. I'll give you the whole story next time i see you.

One thing i like about most of the Superbike riders is that they're quite happy to play for the cameras at the end of the session

Thanks Nick.

I don't actually own any primes (yet,

) but i tend to use the 120-300 more than anything else these days. However as i knew the crowd would be massive on Sunday i decided the 100-400L would be more managable as i left the monopod at home too.

Yes thanks Glen, it's a lovely bit of kit and i'm impressed with how you looked after it

Sunday's main problem was the crowd and limited shooting spots. My favourite places were 3 or 4 deep in sweaty bikers so i spent most of the day stretching over the fence to get shots.
I'm looking forward to a quieter meeting to give the MK2N a thorough work-out so i might go to Oulton Park this Saturday

Thanks for the comment Matt.

I'm working on the gallery at the moment so i'll have a look for your mate. I might have a shot from Qualy on Saturday but i haven't even looked at those yet

Don't see you using your 100-400 much these day Geoff, you probably had to wipe the cobwebs off it first

I actually tried a few shots with the 1.4x TC fitted and they came out quite nicely.
It's a very nice, lightweight alternative to the Sigma and is perfect for days like yesterday.

How do you fancy the Oulton Park Gold Cup over Bank Holiday weekend ?

petrolhead · 13th of August 2007 (Mon)

Would love to go but the only day that weekend free is the Monday (Going to a 2 day wedding) , not sure if thats any good.

I know I said I wanted to get to more tracks but I seem to be so busy Sept, sorry, I am still keen

despot · 13th of August 2007 (Mon)

Nice work Geoff. #2 is a cracker.

Lovely shots there Geoff, really like no6, great sense of 'action' to it.

Alan

GAELICSTORM7 · 13th of August 2007 (Mon)

Hope the mods will let me slip this in.

And who's this playing with his new toy, doing the old 1D double finger shuffle

Alan

GSH · 13th of August 2007 (Mon)

Now that's a very dangerous game to be playing Alan. Just ask Peter what i do to people who post pictures of me !

And now a competition..

Guess the POTN member !
