Thanks for viewing!

Wow, nice shots, crystal clear! What lens did you use?
I was there yesterday morning. not today. Weather was nice. I just stayed there for an hour. Didn't wait for the president and the cosplay.

great pix of airborne action, Andrew! Yeah we were so close that one of the competitors came crashing into the plastic safety barrier just a metre or 2 away..

Yes. I saw that crash. A bit off and it could have hit you. Luckily no one was injured. Of course being the "alert" photographer I was. I could only stare in awe of the crash sequence and did not even raise my camera to shoot it.

Looking thru my photos, I realized that I stayed too long in one spot. So I had many similar photos of different riders but doing the same actions. Note to myself, to need to mix it up and move around the location to get different angles and shots.

So some of the slightly more varied shots,

Some crashes that I was lucky to be able to shoot, Though not the best in terms of capturing the action

#1 This rider was injured in the arm and had to be brought to the medical station. He was in some pain and I did not know if he was able to continue.

#2 This rider stood up after the crash and manage to continue. As I said this are a gutsy bunch. some of crashes look bad but they get back up and continue

#3 Tried panning, not as easy as I thought... 99% of the time was poorly captured.

#4 Finally, dragged myself to another area to shoot.

Actually I like to bundle a few activities together. For some of them, I am curious only, and just want to take a look, shoot a few shots, and leave...
For Red Bull Dark Knights, we didn't wait till night time where I heard those real professionals will show their skill. I found it quite boring after an hour there, if not because of the 2 nice companions, I would have left earlier

Nice try Andrew. What shutter speed did you use?

When I saw the 2 lenses you were using, was wondering if you were the gentleman who was using the white K30 standing besides me. That gentleman used an FA85 and later changed to FA50. Was chatting with him as a fellow K30 owner.

Nice shots btw.

Sorry Greg did not reply you earlier. It was 1/90 I think. Maybe should have tried a slightly slower speed to increase the background motion feel.
