Don't know nothing about super bikes but does the bike in one look high and short.

John

very funny

Who says the Pentax AF can't handle fast moving objects?

Very nice Don

Cracking shots. You haven't got any of Spies cornering have you ? That guy is all shoulders.

Superb shots! Great colours and detail

I do ....the wheels are blurred

Really nice shots Don, A guy at my camera club would have been well pleased to have got those on his C***n

Both cracking shots, I prefer the second I think because of the riders body attitude the whole thing seems fluid and full of movement, a shot to be proud of, the first is not to me so appealing but it is still a very good piece of work.

Ben Spies at work.all shots taken with Tamron 70-200 on manual focus, the adjustment on this lens is very fine and can almost be done whilst panning
could have done with a 300mm but it's not easy carrying camera gear and camping gear on a 7000klm camping ride

Thanks for the comments and feedback.

With shots like this they're well deserved.

Thanks Don, you see what I was saying about Ben Spies. He needs elbow sliders the way he leans his shoulders right off the bike. You've done a cracking job, especially with manual focus. I wouldn't have even thought about trying these kind of shots, but you've pulled it off brilliantly.
