![Silver Star Critiquer/Silver Note Writer [C: 15 W: 5 N: 27]](http://i1.treklens.com/misc/s-n-s.gif) (295) | To start off with, this picture was like my last post. Bright orange with dust going everywhere and looking impressive. I put this picture as my desktop background on XP and when closing the laptop down, noticed the completely different aspect that black & white gives to the picture.
It now just looks superb (IMO), looking like the MX rider has just appeared through an explosion. Another shot from my days "work" (I can't believe I call it work!) at SMX near Horsham. I'm back there again this weekend, and it has been raining for 3 days now, hopefully the dust will have cut down a bit, and it'l make for some interesting mud splat shots :o)
