With all the photographic discussion coming out of the bucket racing last month...it's time to put your money where your mouth is.

Take ya camera to the Slipway tomorrow, click some snaps then post your best pics in this thread.

It looks like it's gonna be a cracker day so you've got no excuse.

And by the way...Frankie (#41) makes an excellent model :niceone:

Great fun as always and some nice action out there~
Although it seemed like the racing was a little more restrained this month - possibly as many buckets were coughing, spluttering, and generally shitting themselves. :(

Great shots from Kendog - I must remember to get some shots from the inside of the corner.

Meanwhile, I barely caught up with anyone as I was manning the camera around the outsides of the track - got a chance to play with my buddy's 70-200mm F/2.8 L series lens.

Check the last pic - AJTurbo deploying the smokescreen! :dodge:

Tell me about it! The lens is SHARP, colours are vibrant and matey, the auto-focus is fast, silent and instantaneous (like Str8Jaket resisting my advances!)

I start saving for one TODAY~ :soon:

At some stage over the next day or so, I'm going to pick out what I consider to be the top six photos submitted, then I'll put up a poll to decide the winner.

First prize is a hug from Colapop (I haven't asked him yet but I'm sure he won't mind)

Keep an eye out for the poll, and if there are any more photos to come...post em quick.
