Those are great captures. Nothing like the sound of a bike reving to 10 -11 grand.

Nice! I don't know how you do it. I like 1 and 9 the best. That bike in one must have a hell of amount of torque... Nice motion blurs...

Oh yeah, I forgot, by Sportsshooter by-laws, I am supposed to say..."these shots are too static, try and capture more motion"..Funning of course... You have that panning action down to a predictable science.

Awesome Shots! That 1st one fantastical!

Do you use any PP? They look a little soft here at work. I'd like to see some sharpening.

[BobbyC]

Thanks everyone. Tom, they have been sharpened a bit, they lose a lot in the downsizing to 600 pixels. I assure you they are tack sharp. Of course some of the slower shutter shots are a bit soft toward the back of the bike and some of them I was actually sitting in the middle of the track so they are about 3' from me as they pass, DOF is very thin on those but I like the effect. It's not always about perfectly sharp lines when yuo are conveying speed and motion.
