start another thread and I will contribute - you have some contenders - but narrow it down to 4 or you will not win.

An un-captioned photo won't win either.

Changing the goal posts huh?

Some real good pics in this thread, I was having a shit day with my camera, couldn't get focus or depth of field right so gave up, these are not my best but I find them interesting.

#1 Gareth Jones and pillion Graig Shirriffs, entering the Suzuki S bend

#2 Post Classic Forgotten Era (Pre82) Graham Moorhead #15 leading over the hill
Westpac corner

#3 WT#20 leading #101 Neil Martin, Suzuki S_Bend, I was trying to get a pic of the bikes on opposite angles.

#4 Neil Martin having problems, Suzuki S_bend, I think the crowd make this pic but what would I know.

if the names and numbers are wrong sue me, as I took then from the race program

**Big Dave** · 18th February 2008, 20:03

just for me getting my head around it - please limit it to 4 pics

but also it's a contest of skill - part of that skill is reading the brief, preparing, cropping, adjusting, titling & captioning - and choosing what images you submit. it's not just making the exposure.

It's also not fair on those that have already done the 'down to four' process.

taa.

#4 101 Neil Martin having problems, the crowd in the back ground I think is what makes the pic, but then what would I know.

#5 Sidecar team Brian Read, Darren Prentis 666 Woolworths corner.

if the names and numbers are wrong sue me, as I took then from the race program

Pic 1 is a minter.

Pic 3 nearly came off really good. Did you go up to #101 and ask him to lean out a little next race for the camera?

Clarification: name of the shot / caption of the shot = same thing.

either way will do - (the better job you do selling it to the editor - the better one's chances.)

#1 - WT Burnout.

or

#1 - White trash thrills the crowd with his efforts in daring do.

are equally acceptable.
