Photos from Paeroa BOT 08

[limmy]

Hi All,
I was down at Paeroa and had lots of fun taking photos of the races. I thought I would share it with you guys especially the ones that didn't make it down there.

Some of the shots aren't that great and I know a lot of the shots are off the same riders. I'm not biased towards them but that's just how the shots turned out. I kept on taking photos when the first bikes started coming through for each race and I guess the front group pretty much stayed at the front so I got the same bikes. I guess something to take into account for next time.

Anyway, here's the link

There are some excellent shots in there, make sure you put some in this thread.

There were some interesting bikes there, for sure!

Some fantastic shots there. Only thing I can suggest is to try and get shots of everybody, not just the same riders over and over. There's lots of people on this site that race and only a very small number of them are at the front. Variety is good.

Agreed. I only realized I had taken shots of the same rider the whole day when I got back. It's definitely something to work on. Also the way it works I really only get a very limited of attempts to get the shot right. I'm still not that good so I had to take a huge amount of shots (1000+) just to get about 20 shots that were any good.

Anyways, I'll do better next time

I was so busy shooting the races I didn't even really get a chance to have a look around the paddock to check out the other bikes and the brolly chicks.

For sure. Me and my brother took 600+ at Wanganui. Got some very nice shots though (for total amateurs that is) of most of the people we wanted to.

Perhaps they could hurry the fuck up and get to the front?

...or slow down a bit until it looks like they're leading ...
