I watched a bit of this on the telly the other day and was very impressed with the skill of those taking part.

I'm impressed with your skills in capturing this picture, I'm sure it wasn't easy with the speea and poor lighting, well done

A very good capture. Low light conditions pose a problem that you were able to over come. You captured this shot at a perfect moment.

Yeah you are all right, it was difficult taking the shots. Especially with a "slow" lens. I had to fire the SB-600 at full power at max flash zoom, which means slow recycling time and narrow beam of light, so timing needs to be good. Out of like 500 shots I have 5 keepers... Wish I could sell the photos but I have no idea how to... The riders are amazing!

Wow, you froze the action so well and great timing. I love the bright colours and the black background. Great capture bumblebeezack.
