After a long summer of racing...I made it back

Talk about a long summer! Here are a few quick shots, I didnt plan on posting any so I will rummage later..
THis first one is by far my favorite! I heard a loud poping sound, figured on a crash, then nothing, he broke his chain, turns out I got it, thats his chain beind him right before it pops him in the helmet lol

Second is my hero 20 yr old Brett, the one armed bandit! Hit in a street wrck by an SUV, he lost his right arm, but it didnt stop him! The crash was almost 3 years ago now and he has been racing for 2!
The 911 is a 16 year old, amazing form and speed for his age!
The last is Michael crashing, I managed to get the whole series too!
Ok, back to scanning the forum to listen to the pro's for advice!

Nice shots, Lori. The chain flying off is great!

Thanks! :)

Great to see your wonderful two wheeler images. I have to agree that chain flying off is a super shot. Love it.

TY OT! I have missed being here. I have been like a kid in a candy store scanning all the posts lol

Great shots! The first one with the chain is my favorite too. I love shots like that where you don't even realize you captured something unique until you see the image on your camera monitor or even on the computer later.

I took some shots like that this past weekend at a football game. One of the players lost his helmet on a touchdown scoring play and I got several shots of the helmet in mid-air directly in front of the player who was scoring the touchdown. I completely missed that until I looked at the pictures later on my laptop.

They are photos #38 - #44 in the slide show I am linking to below.

Holeeeee cow - that broken chain photo is SICK! For a second I thought you'd added some kind of weird logo and then I realized what it was. What a catch! That's awesome!

im in the same boat as PJ, and had the exact same thought process. You should submit that to a magazine, I think that would easily make it into publication!

Ha! Thanks guys! Im tickled with it and the FF John, thank you! Im going to submit it and will let you know if it makes it in. :D

Just added a link to our Facebook page :)

I thought the capture of that chain was just amazing.

Thank you Paul! Oh and I never said I could type.... I meant FP not FF *sigh

That chain shot is a incredible capture! Glad to have you back here!

What an amazing shot. I've been following motorcycle racing as long as I can remember and I don't think I've ever seen a photo of a chain coming off. Well done Lori! I've been of most of the summer too... I need to get back in here!

Another great capture Lori. I always love your motorcycle shots. Keep them coming.

I wondered where you'd gone off to. Glad to see you back and WOW what and entrance =)

The chain shot is, as the kids say, off the hook, pun intended. What a catch!!

Can't wait to see more of what you've been shooting all summer.

Just a follow up here, the chain shot made it into the January issue of Roadracing World!! Im tickled (as did 3 shots on the Kids page of the kids racing in Nashville!) If anyone gets this magazine already its on page 8 and 81 LOL Thanks for all the nice comments too!! :)

Congrats on getting that shot in print. It really is a great capture!

Thanks Tom!

Lori,

Great shots, and congrats on getting published. I love watchingbike racing, especially flat track. But I have no desire to go down (too darned old) anymore :lol: so I just cruise down to the beach on my HOG. Again fantastic images of an extremely difficult subject. 2 X :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Like I said, I'm a Harley girl (and in total beach withdrawl I might add) at heart! Thank you so much, I am tickled with it :D
