I'll pick out all your photos so you can choose - I'll also make a suggestion. I'll email you a link when ready. I have only looked at a few photos so far.

Henk, is this what you had in mind for a photo of the bikes with the sponsor posters in the background?

Perfect.

I'll flick the link on to Sheryl from the kart club. Apparently having the facility used by more than one group makes it easier when they apply for grants.

Thanks for that Damien.

I'm now uploading small compressed versions of all the photos

. It will take some time. Some will be rejects but it would take too long to check them all. If you are interested in large copies please email me rather than PM (Private Message) as I will send you pricing and usage details. You are welcome to use any of these on your web sites, for free, with credit shown as my email address and/or web site.

Regards

Damien

The small photos have a watermark along the bottom, not across the middle, so you at least have my contact details if you would like a high quality version of the photo. The first few photos are shown in better quality but they are still just very small versions of the originals.

It was an awesome weekend. The weather was perfect. Being able to camp at the race track is the best way to socialise and catch up, over a glass of wine (or Port!), with everyone from around the country (well, North Island, at least). The Tokoroa circuit is demanding but possibly the best kart circuit for bikes in NZ. Maybe one day we will have a New Zealand National GP series for buckets

, covering North and South Islands?

Thanks all for a great weekend.

The F4 GP winner in action:

He was even riding with an injury from riding the NZ Nationals (he does Pro Twins and Hyosung GT250-R cup races as well as buckets!):

meh I clearly need to get new flashy leathers & a clear visor to get any decent pics of me.

First few are just stunning photos, did you crop those to frame them so close?

Hi Dave.

Awesome riding and congrats on the F5 convincing win.

This is buckets! The leathers are perfect!

Yes, the first 36 are cropped and tweaked - the most important part of making an exciting image. It takes time on the computer but can produce memorable results.

One of you early in the F5 race:

So cool to have you at these meetings Damien. I have said it before and I will say it again. Love your work.

Is it ok to publish small on facebook with a credit link to your site.

Cheers RB.

Actually that one does look good, I'd better email you when I'm back at my work PC. Picks up the C/F grain in the helmet. Next helmet won't be so flash sadly.

What do you mean by C/F grain?
