Ford Escort Race Car
This is by far my favorite picture that I took on the day, and I think its become my favorite picture that I have ever taken.
Fortunately I got to see this escort race in the last classic track event of the day.

Chev
Taken at Killarney on the centenary celebrations for Alfa Romeo.
This one was taken on the last classic race of the day, and man was it a cracker.
I tried to track the cars and use a fast shutter speed in the hopes that the backround would come out blurry, but the cars would be in focus.
I noticed that at a certain point, as I tracked the cars they would be in focus, and thats generally when I pulled the trigger.
I think I still need plenty of practice with that.
Any tips or suggestions?
I think I was using a 55mm lens with 200asa film.

Wierd thing my Dad's Pentax does.
I've noticed that my camera does this thing with light.
I'm unsure of hot to reproduce it, and I'm not sure if I want to get the camera serviced in case I cant get it to come back.
Is it the lens or the Camera?
Mr Dog
This was taken at a friends party. It was on a plot on a farm where there where dogs roaming around, tipi's, veggie gardens and loose hippies.

Sunset
Taken at a friends birthday party. He lived in the tipi closest to the camera.
Taken with a Pentax S1 on 35mm film.
Waiting for something.
Two dogs followed us to the gate and then decided there where more interesting things to watch on the road.

Jade
My old beloved 2 stroke.
When I got her she didn't have a front end, and I had to have one put together and put on the bike.
She still had quite a few problems by the time I had sold her, but she was certainly the fastest thing I have ever ridden!
Great little bike.

Taken outside of Auto Azzuri, where I had my carbs done for the Alfa.
This is just a fantastic example of a track car.

new plan
This was the secound shot of this shooter, captured while she changes new lenses.
I'm quite happy with this shot.

This was the first shot I took of this specimen, I wonder if I'm actually in her shot. :)

undercover
These two normal looking tourers are acually under cover cop bikes. Normally you see them cruising around in a safe and text book manner. And the riders of these bikes generally are not in full dress uniform.
I'm quite happy with th focus in this shot, I need to experiment with shallower depths of field in bright sunlight.
Perhaps I should get slower film then?
smiling suzuki
Taken on the fan walk outside of a motorcycle shop.
Someone had taken the time to pull a cop aside and complain, about the noise the bikes made (Never mind the vuvuzelas).
glide
Taken outside a petrol station.
I think I've seen this bike before on the street, I remember it was pretty damn quick.
Not sure how the blue flare was genorated in this shot.
The darkness at the bottom of the photo I think is my Dad's Pentax trying to tell me that it needs a service.

Ayoba Time
Two MTN (south african cell phone company) Puppets on the fan walk.
Luckily I got someone's vuvuzela in the frame. :)
fans in hi def
I thought it would be interesting to take a snap of the screen, I guess it came out more red than anything.
swift
Taken from our seats at Green Point Stadium. I was surprised at how bright it was.
They drew 0-0.
:(
traffic flag
Taken on the way to work, in the morning. I was waiting for the flag to blow the correct way, but it didn't happen.

Small Icecream shop in Hout Bay called Ice Dream.
Best vanilla in the South Africa, bar none.
And this cat makes all the icecream himself.
Taken with a Pentax S1 on 35mm with a standard lens and a warming filter
