It was a nice weekend in so far as my wife Emily came with me.

More to come from Fontana..

Third shot is very nice. Nos. 2 and 5 just aren't working for me.

I think 5 would have worked better if there was a brighter spot of light peaking over there and you were able to drop the unlit areas to a darker level and the bright sun spotted on the bike would make it stand out better...

Theres a lot of light in that one spot - so I can see where you were going...

Cor blimeyy Dustin! I don't have time for all that, it works with the image larger believe it or not but it's subtle and that's fine. Actually, I always enjoy seeing the pit boards tbh.

Barber is an odd place. Nice backdrops and so forth (shame they had all the Porsches park out as it killed the green background from shooting from riders right in the middle section) but getting around is hard and as such snagging different images becomes a challenge. Race days are especially repetitive.

Thanks everyone - now I'm a year older too!

I kind of like #5... I can see what Dustin was saying also, but I like it as-is.

Chalk me up as a fan of #1 as well. I always look forward to your rider portraits. Nice work Andrew.

+1, I LOVE your rider portraits! You have inspired me to attempt a self-portrait in my motorcycle gear :)

BTW, were you at the Fontana AMA? Just asking since I was there, not shooting though :o

[Andrew Gosling]

I love number one. But I also love number 5, it is different and it has a feel about it.

You have done well again Andrew...

[Andrew Wheeler]

Cheers Andrew! Guess we'll see you in a few months eh?!
