York Micklegate Soapbox Challenge, August Bank Holiday Sunday

I've never taken so many photographs in a single day before. Indeed I more than doubled the shutter count of my k-3. The reason being I've never actually used the continuous shooting facility before, there's always a first for something!
The weather was very overcast but at least that meant I didn't have to deal with extreme highlights and shadows between the buildings.
Besides my recent weekly competition entry, here are a few more from the day.

The course began with a steep ramp.

Along the course was a ramp which led to some interesting photos

That's just 10 of the.... 550 (though many near duplicates have since been deleted.)

I'd love to watch one! We love watching the show on Sky of the days events! You've captured great emotion in the 2nd image with his face! Nice

'Here here' for continuous shooting mode! Its paid off for sure, with sharp captures and you've got a sense of the action and responses of the people. Noddy is brilliant, all 4 wheels off the ground

Thanks for the comments, appreciated.
Perhaps I should have mentioned all were taken on the K-3 with the16-85 lens which given the weather (rain was in the air) it proved a good combination.
Should anyone wish to see some more from the day they are on my site here:

Looks like a load of fun

It was!

I like these - makes me want to join in

What great fun shots! These really capture the essence of the day.

Thanks. Yes it was great fun and free to all to see. I agree it would be great to join in, though my engineering skills wouldn't achieve anything more than a plank with four pram wheels! I suppose that's a start.

looks like a fun day had by all

Although I haven't been to a live event, I have been watching some of the repeats of them on the Dave Freeview channel. These images indicate what great fun these races are and my favourites are 3, 4 and 5. They show not only the cars off the ground but also the interest of the crowd in the background. The expression of the driver in 4 is just great, as is the Stig's flat cap in 5!

Cheers.
Philip

Super set... Looks like an awful lot of fun...

Best

Only just seen this - what a fun event! Some wonderful expressions nos 2 & 4 for me!

Yes, I'm looking forward to he next one.
