Hi, a week late, but here are some pictures I took at Bordon for the supermoto racing. A few mates of mine were racing Thumbs Up

no. 59 on the XR650 and no. 32 on the Gas Gas 250 as well as a few others.

Was a very good day out, good weather and good racing.. the quad bikes are mental too, but I didn't take any pictures of them.

Hope you like... (I took a lot more than this, but these are some of the "better" ones - they're all a bit pants though, still learning with this photography marlarkee) Smile

What sort of camera are you using mate?

If you have control over the shutter speed then a good suggestion is to set it to 1/125s or less and track on the moving subject. This will make the subject sharp and the background blurred, which gives a good impression of speed. Takes some practice though!!

Some really good shots there anyway Thumbs Up

By Bordon do you mean the Bordon near Guilford in Hants? I'm guessing so because it looks like the training area down that way. Just asking because I am based at the barracks in Bordon.

Same camera as me then... Thumbs Up

Im just fine tuning it for the trials and road pictures as the shutter speed could be a little better.

Dunno actually, I will have to check I need to drag out the manual, the only problem is the pics come out really large and then compressing them starts to blur them a little.

Was surprised my dad really got a good photo in of me there, we were using "Burst 3" mode since it was for a in air motion shot.

I would go for a ride. But the bike will be staying up in Yorkshire as I don't fancy riding it from Bradford down to Bordon along A roads as I'll only have my CBT. I will let you know if I change my mind and decide to ride down the length of the UK lol.
