I have a few photos from Sunday. I couldn't take any quality ones fom the Saturday's mini's as I was helping to organise it, but here are a few from Sunday.

If you have any requests for photos - let me know bike, rider kit and number details.

Some more photos... Don't know who is amongst that in the first photo. Hope he is OK though.

Few more for the time being.... But I have to go out now. I'll post the rest when I return. Any requests for photos - just ask and I'll have a sort through

Have you got a website you're selling these on ? I'm no longer shooting events or motocross and had a few inquiries on photos from there.

I am in the process of setting one up but I am also having difficulty in thinking of a name for it! Nicola W .co.nz is not available so I’ll just need to decide on a name. (Any suggestions greatly appreciated!) Will need to have a .com though as I am organising it through a friend in England…..

Here’s a few more.

Couple more (Tell me if I'm boring you all) Mr Rice getting close to the action in the last photo.

The lovely Robin Atkins having a chat with my husband. I got a sneaky shot of him.

The rainbow one was taken yesterday (Monday) I really love it. I've always wanted to know what was at the end of a rainbow and I'm pleased to see it's an MX track!

Trophies I handed out on Saturday at the mini event.

Thank you!

I have a Canon 20d and a big white lens!

I must admit the shots would have been a lot better if the weather wasn't so gloomy. I don't like using a flash at MX and I have adjusted the levels in Photoshop. I much prefer shooting in brilliant sunshine but you can't dictate the weather!

Ahh, sounds like a few Grand to me, I guess you've got a mono-pod to sit it on too huh... I was looking at 400d's for a bit, but I was a cheap ass since what I got was something to start out with.

The weathers only really noticeable In the air shots.

Its gotta be said though. This ones wicked:

Must be all the dust that taints the whole photo with that colour, thanks for the new comp background.

My gear is pretty expensive but it's my hobby (and passion) and my husband and 2 sons have their bikes - I've got my camera stuff! (And they get lots of photos taken!)

I don't use a mono-pod/tripod and just prefer to catch the action freehand.

The clarity is slightly lost in that photo so I just used a warming filter in Photoshop to create that effect. I was just having a play around and I was pleased with the outcome.

You will wear out your camera (or two) long before we get bored with pix like these.... Thanks for posting.....

I thought I liked to get close to the action, but Mr Rice, you da man......Can you post a pic taken there?
