I survived the 4 days and now I am up to my eyeballs in photos (boy Brad, you missed it!) The racing and weather was beyond perfect. Here are a few from Sunday

Great pics Lori. The 1st one is a cracker

[Lori11]

Thanks! I got the whole series of that from start to finish, he won the race also for that class (Aaron Yates)

[Photo-John]

That first one is sweet! Love how he's looking right at you.

I like the body language of the second rider in the third one but it's really too soft. Focus is so critical in sports photos. I just came back from an event myself (Sea Otter Classic) and I am very, very hard on myself when it comes to focus. You have to detach yourself emotionally and be super critical. Quality control is very important. I throw out tons of photos that I want to use because the focus is off.

Thats his riding style, his nickname is "elbows" he started out on motocross lol. The pic is soft but I like it because they ride for the same team but are rivals to the "nth" degree lol Thanks for the advice! ( I have dumped 100's from the 4 day event already lol) Mat Mladin (#6) won btw, of course I pull for Ben Spies aka Elbows lol

Love the first shot.....the colors are so vibrant....the other photos are wonderful too....but don't grab you like the first one.....

Really nice shots, especially #1.

Those Jordan bikes aways look good.

I am a big Spies fan also. I am hoping to drive down from Canada to see him race at Indy.

Keep posting the racing shots, they are great.

The first shot looks also the only one shot in cloudless sunlight - see the shadow?
There's no substitute for good lighting, even if you are a PS wizard.

One of these days I will be in your league as in quality and the pure wow factor.:thumbsup: Have any Nicky Hayden?

Lori, I have been waiting to see your shots since seeing the highlight show with coverage from these races Sunday.
#1 is a kick butt shot! Nice work.

I am finally not working so I will post some more, thanks everyone! I took a zillion photo's I think, deleted half a zillion lol ( I dont have photo shop so the editing is a challange, I am assuming thats what PS is ) Jimmy it was great racing! Nicky didnt race, Roger Lee did but got squished and Tommy raced. I will post some

Lori - these are awesome! Sorry I've been MIA all week... stupid finals have been taking over my life! I know why you posted that last one of Spies/Mladin; soft or not that captures the different riding styles and dead-heat competition b/t the two. The first one is my favorite though... classic Yates.

[Lori11]

Thanks! Hope the exams went well too! Grand AM is next
Jimmy, I have some posted on my site from the races feel free to take a peek, I will be putting Sundays races up this week.
