Ok I know I'm being good to you bike race followers, and apologies to the rest of you. I have some interesting night time shots of London, a day at Kew Gardens (today in fact) and tomorrow it's a bird of prey centre - so there's plenty normal stuff to come.

This was taken at Oulton Park with the Ellison shot, here from a little further up the track at Clay Hill. Shane 'Shakey' Byrne onboard the Suzuki GSXR1000 K5 machine, sponsored by the unmissable Rizla, the cigarette paper people.

Thanks as ever to Jay and Tasha at Londonbikers.com for the press arrangements for access to these events, a pass to get close enough for a mere 200mm lens, and the motivation to get my ass out there. Forever in your debt guys.

22/07/06 11.22 1/750sec f5.6 ISO100 200mm on Sigma 70-200 f2.8 HSM EX

Absolutely razor sharp, don't they just make the effort worth while when you get one like this, the angle of light and the back drop, front wheel in the air.
Perfection

Ah practice grasshopper, practice. Half the secret is picking the right spot for the kit you have. I know the many limitations my kit has, and learned to work with them rather than fight them. Luck plays a part but really it's just safety in numbers. I'd shoot some 2000 images a weekend, most of bikes going fast and be lucky to get 100 sharp ones and of those mebbe 15 would be technically good shots ie the entire bike, sharp helmet etc. Then mebbe only 3-4 are good from a photographic/arty viewpoint.

How many would you shoot over a 3 day TT meet say?
