    Throwing it down the road Knockhill

    Up at a freezing wet Knockhill with my nephew today.

    First time he has been on the ZX10 in the wet. I thought to myself you aint holding back Wee Man.

    Alex was fine but the bike was needing a few repairs.

    Back again tommorow for his first race. Hopefully it will be dry

    Re: Throwing it down the road Knockhill

    Wonderful work, Wull. LOVE #3. Reminds me of MotoGP, Lukey Heights at Phillip Island (but mirrored the other direction). All great shots though, as usual. Looks like the wreck was fairly minor and relatively slow. Glad to see he's alright. Best of luck for race day!

    Thanks Brad

    Back there yesterday and turned out a lovely day. Most of my photos were wasted due to glare because of the sun

    Should have tried that polorizer :mad2:

    Polariser works best at 90 degrees to the sun.
    If you're shooting into the sun then it's not much more than a neutral density filter.
    It will give you more intense colours. But if there's any dust on the filter, even just with another bit of glass in teh way, you may find that the flare problems aren't improved.

    Indeed he has. I always look forward to seeing his photos. I think, really, racing forces you to progress very quickly, at least in a technical sense. I know it pushed me, and clearly Wull has done extremely well.

    Re: Throwing it down the road Knockhill

    Thanks for all the comments.

    Had a look back at my early stuff and do notice a bit of an improvement, A lot of which has come from the advice i have got from you folks on here :thumbsup:

    Plus i get a fair bit of practice during the racing season following the wee fella. Away to pack for Brands Hatch. Hopefully have a few to post after the weekend

    Thanks again

    Wull
