I was in the middle of the main arena, when my mobile rang. it was the wife, so I moved in close to the truck, as he passed over head, phone in one hand camera in the other - bosh ... I love the result, asked her to phone more often

Hi Mate ,great action shot, would have cloned the distracting black bit top right wouldnt detract from the shot. Dont like your copyright across the shot either, would stick that bottom left if you have to. However you probably have your reasons for it! Good shot difficult to get this type of shot.

Thanks Dennis, the shot is another straight out of the camera, I havent put any of them to the market yet, hence the ugly copyright

That's another D300 gone! Still, I suppose you can afford another?

Great action shot from a very unusual aspect. Not sure (no, I'm absolutely sure) I wouldn't have taken it. Brave man.

What did your wife say on the phone "I've just had a premonition that you are going to die!"

Hi Pete,
This is a great action shot, nice and sharp with good colours.
Agree with Dennis about the black in the top right,you can clone it out or just crop it out.
Well done

Defiantly has the wow factor, could only be improved for me if we could see the riders face, but can imagine it's a bit of a point and shoot and hope situation

Steve has hit the nail on the head. what is an absolute cracker of a capture would have been made into a fortune selling shot should you have got the face in.....braver man than me..

Thanks MTS & G8PSR.....

countstex, take a look at the exif, I was strugling to keep up with them. I dont have the blessing of 5-600 like some of the togs that were there, so I was shooting in close ..
