A few pictures...on the camera I was very chuffed, but on the computer for some reason, not so much with these. Can't put my finger on it?! See my "underexposed" thread...these were taken with the 30D, but have had a bit of a play with the levels in Photoshop.

There is an imposter...it's a wheel from a 575 Superamerica, I do particularly like that one

Yeah I can see why you like the second shot..

I could be totally wrong here but I think in shots three and four it's down to the panning and with practice that will improve..

Just my opinion

Good Luck

I think you're right...my panning is not the best, and my hit rate needs to get better for sure! (see my isle of man thread from last week, can do some good ones, but not all the time!).

Still, when it's these things you're photographing....practicing is not exactly a hardship

I think it was Clarkson that said it sounded like a Messerschmit (sp?)...so true. Sounds amazing, and the side exhausts just make it that bit louder and better yes
