Good morning Peeps

I thought this morning I would show you a slightly different shot than my ususal.

When I was at the steam rally there was a motorbike display team on show. I thought I would try and get a couple of shots for TL memeber Pez (Hopalong).

Its very difficult to shot at shows as these without gettting all the crowd and background, which I dont like seeing as I think it makes the shot to fussy.

However I quite liked this one as the crowd all have their eyes firmly fixed on the stunt rider which increases his prescence within the shot.

So Pez this ones for you my friend and anyone else who likes bikes.

TTFN and many thanks for the visit

kind regards Smurfie

P.S. I spent two hours at the Coningsby airbase yesterday before we came back from dad's and the Lancaster,Spitfires and the Typoons all came out to play for Smrufie so I got some fab shots. I don't have time to process them yet as I have just heard from the estate agent that I have a buyer for my house so I could be moving very soon Yeeessss at last!

Good frozen action shot Helen. The bike looks like it is parked on top of the car!! No movement showing at all.
What lens are you using?
Well done
Janice

Helen Hi;
This is an excellent action composition, clarity, detail, colors and POV all wonderful and one can still sense the action of the bike.
Excellent note, as always.
I am running a little behind, long story, but I wanted you to know how much I liked the Horse Show images, they are just great. Looking forward to the theme presentations tomorrow, always interesting and a excellent learning experience.
Congratulations, very well done.

Hi Helen

A superb decisive action shot of the cyclist, with perfect timing & good color & sharpness. Tfs!

What?? I do this everyday on my way to work! Nothing new for me! HAHAHA! Nice work on this Helen, love the stop action here, It's amazing how they just make this stuff look so easy! Really nice work, love the tight framing!

Hi Smurfie,
Great action shot nicely composed, you have captured the details and colours well, I think In My Opinion I would have cropped just a little more from the bottom to loose the piece of blue fence.
Well done
Regards Andy

P.S fingers crossed for you over the house

Hi Helen,
What an amazing shot...
Nice colours and excellent details.tfs.

Wow.! This Evel Kenivel ? is doing some reall stuntwork.
So you did too, by capturing this at the right moment, Helen.
Good action shot.

ps. the black 'K' (from Klugt, not from Kia Sportage, haha) on the garage door is red now, (after two times painting) as I changed the front door into red aswell.Pity, the Kia is still black, but I dont have red paint enough, sniff.
haha
Best regards from Jan
