    bugdod,

    I think I would prefer to see these in colour because the bikes and leathers are often very colourful.

    The only comment I have is that last one I would have liked to see a bit more space at the front and less at the back of the bikes.

    Nice shots

    Much better in colour. I would consider uping the saturation just a little in these.

    Thankyou again I will have a go at the saturation .
    I did think the colours were a tad flat.

    I always enjoy the exhaust flame shots :)

    Interesting range of shutter speeds, 1/400 looks nice blur, 1/160 and 1/125 I can't see the spokes but has a nice sense of speed, and the last one at 1/500 looks like he was going faster - as again I can't see the wheel spokes.

    I'm not a bike expert, what is the norm for photos like these?

    I'm still trying various settings to get the "right" look, and not being used to cornering speeds (way different from 4 wheels) I'm not sure I've got it yet in mine.

    Trends in car photos vary, but almost every on track shot I've seen in print has a blurred background and some extent of tyre blur.
    I tend to try to shoot bikes the same, but unlike cars I tend to get a lot of shots where the wheel is so blurred that you can't see the spokes and the bike is held in the air by very high grade magic :o
    Does that matter?

    It was my first time.
    The light was changing through the day I was shooting the majority in shutter priority.
    If the light was constant the panning shots should be about 1/125 but for sharp detail
    i went to 1/500 and still tried to pan.
    I had about a 80 percent success rate but i still have to practice the panning technique.
    Thanks for looking
