Photos - Wairarapa sprints February 3rd

[MD]

Thanks Nigel for taking the time to take so many pics and post them up. Especially on such a HOT day with bugger all shade.
Excellent work that man.
I have to admit I like the one you got of my only 'accidental' wheelie of the day.

[et al]

Nice shots Nigel - I especially like that wheely pic of MD (kb10). Well done and big thanks for capturing the et al family in full flight (kb1, kb2, kb11).

Very cool pics Mr Kendog, thanks for posting them

What camera do you use?

[Nasty]

Great pics there .... you are so improving!!

[skelstar]

Nice one Nigel. Loving the ones of the Foster boys, Malc's and Troy's esp. Tough conditions for the camera to deal with, something that maybe faster glass cold cope with better?

I wonder if being further back and zooming would cure the focus thing (bigger depth of field), but then you would sacrefice the speed blur thing tho.

Awwwwesome photos! You did waaaaaaaaaaay better than the couple of attempts that I made!! (I just took photos of the scenery... camera/camera owner not quick enough haha)

I dont suppose you had any of me on the old dark blue GSX1100F?? Im wearing yellow and black leathers... Thanks heaps!!!!

Would love a faster lense

I think being further back would help with the focus, it was pretty much on the limit where I was standing. But the road I was marshalling on made it difficult to get further away from the bikes, while maintaining the ability to pan and shoot.

Great photos of a great day

I had a fantastic time if a little disappointed with my flying times but it was all the bike would give.

Anyone know if the finial results are posted anywhere?

Anyone know if the finial results are posted anywhere?

When I get the database 'data' I'll post it up on www.cliffhanger.org.nz

I'll let you know through the main sprints thread when its done.

Should do, took just over 300 pics. Can you give me a little more detail about the riders/bikes so I can recognise them.

But the majority are not very well focused. It's difficult trying to get a bike moving at those speeds to pose nicely for the camera

If anyone else is curious just post you bike details. I will have a look in the next few days and post them up.

Warrick is black zx14, with shoei helmet, and black alpinestar jacket

Kelvin was on the black 06 zx10r (polished), and black zx14 (not to sure on what gear he wears)

Paul heard - was on the racing mv august 312.

I would be very interested in any pic's of me they do look very good.
Cheers

I was on the Red CBR1100XX Blackbird, Black leathers and Shoei lid number 24

Some nice shots there.

Look for a Canon 70-200 F4 L on TradeMe.
What mode are you shooting in?

Those shots should have been in Ai Servo, TV mode, 1/320th to 1/640th and ISO100 (not ISO800) and you would have had a nice shallow depth of field with enough shutter to get a clear shot.
It would have brought the aperture down from f22 to f8 or so.


PS. Your camera is more betterer than mine...
