Mallory Park

A few images from Mallory Park Historic Motocycle Racing. Unfortunately the meeting was cut short by an accident so I only shot from one position with no experimentation on shutterspeed, backgrounds or light direction.

Final Group from Cadwell Park

The third group of vehicles to race at the Classic Motorbike Meet at Cadwell Park were the solo motorbikes - 250 and 500cc. Mostly at Cadwell you are looking down on the bikes but in a few places you can get parallel or even below the bikes.

Sidecar Racing Cadwell Park

As well as scooter racing, yesterday classic Motobike meet at Cadwell Park included sidecars (racing along with three-wheelers such as Morgans). It was obviously a challenge to keep the third wheel on the ground when corning and various positions were adopted not always successfully!! Happily only a couple of occasions when the 'passenger' parted company with the bike and then no serious injuries.

Scooter Racing

I am attending a Classic Motorbike weekend with Phil and Peter and it includes Scooter racing. They have been customised in lots of ways and colours but still sound like a swarm of angry hornets. Still working on the panning technique!!

Grass Track Racing

The dry summer resulted in the grass track quickly turning to dust making great backdrop for the motorcycles. I generally preferred them in monochrome but then think it is a shame to lose the vibrant colours. 

 

 

Mablethorpe SandRacing - Pictorial Shots

The very bright sunlight gave some great opportunites for high key images such as the first image of Sarah, John and Phil waiting for the racing to start. I also liked the images from my final position where we could get the bikes with a sea and surf background.
