Taken Brands Hatch final round of the British Superbike Championship 2006 30/09/06 16.35.
This shot is of Steve Neate on his British Supersport (600cc machines run as support championship) Honda RR machine.
He regularly ground out his footpegs on this corner and after several missed shots, I finally got him doing it. I love his helmet design, and generally the bike always looked well prepared.
I thought about B&W like the others, and am yet unconvinced about these shots in colour. Tell me what you think please?

Mind sometimes nowt works so I guess luck has something to do with it.
If you're gonna get all scientific on me I'll have to have Anadin standing by....
It's luck really honey, and a bit of practice. The Servo focussing and comparatively slow speed of the bike takes much of the skill out of it thankfully.
PS - I like the color, it gives it more energy I think
I agree with Silver, you'd lose the impact of the sparks with B&W

The clarity is phenomenal! The color is vibrant (did you up it a little?)!!
Very impressive, sir!
The light was just 100% perfect so not much left for me to do
