I wish I could post more than eight, but there you go!

Race pictures were a bit underexposed, but I'm learning.

All feedback good/bad/indifferent welcome.

Thanks for looking!

I like three. I just wish that the kerbs on the foreground is a bit more in the shot. Just a touch blurred for my taste.

edit: was 8 shot in a burst? If it was, what happened 1 or 2 frames after. Did the reflection in the water not work out?

a couple of cameras + eyes that are starting to open + boatloads of patience

EXCELLENT series! Vermulen, while I don't like crashes in any sport, was caught at a great time! Luckily you didn't catch him high-siding.

+++ on #3. Should be used as a good example of the rule of thirds.
