Sharp and colourful!!!

The are super motard bikes.

Photos are sharp but effects are not nice.
Lack of panning effects and the wheels movement are frozen which is not so good to show the actions imo.

Pics quality are superb, detail and color are nice.....

But I've to agree with dominator.......

.. you were one of the official photographers if i'm not wrong .. holding a 300 F4L IS?

Great capture .. could have been added impact if there was motion blur thru panning...

Maybe he wants to break the rules?
i feel the expression of the bikers is cool.
Beautiful shots, hope Singapore have more of this motor sport events

Hi dEthANGel,i was invited by my friend who on duty during the race.He told me to take pics mostly at double bend(S) and some action
during the race.Abt panning,my 300 + 1.4X can't make it cos too close to riders.Thks

Nice crisp shots and it works for me. No panning is ok for me. Were you there on Sun? I was there on Sat and its a real challenge to get thess bikers in the frame.

For a powerful bike, I find our carpark racing pose great risk for these riders as well as for spectators. I wanted to get close to the actions but after seeing how one motard rider lost control of his bike and mount kerb, I decided to keep a safe distance.

Not to worry...a bike track should be avaliable in near future.

Yaaa...Canon 300 f4 IS is very good quality lens if u want to stay light.It helps me alot on my sport shooting.My last lens on my list is Sigma 120-300f2.8 DG HSM,which can cover my zoom range....

Hi, was the rider in #12 a female?
Anyway, enjoyed your shots! Pin-sharp and the action was well captured.
