[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Superbike Showdown is a race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma California where riders get up to speeds of about 180 mph. It is amazing to watch how they throw these big machines around and literally hang off the bike to balance during high speed banking.

I used a polarizing filter to decrease the depth of field while setting the shutter speed between 1/100 and 1/320 sec.

Hi Roger,

Very attractive shot. I prefer a bit cropping from the left. Colors are amazing. This can be a good challenge with the camera and speed. Well done my friend. TFS!

Hauling....this really screams with speed. Every piece of the picture adds to that message for me, light, pov, and depth (or lack there of), the arrangement of the elements, etc. The people in the background leaning on the fence and intently watching are a great addition to the mood as well.
Nicely done, great shot.
Thanks for sharing,
Wilt

Hi Roger.Very interesting speedway picture.
Best regards, Bosko.
