More, More, More, TT

Another Race Day



Leaning

Leaving

Frozen

. Just open the lens, pulled back on the wide shot rocked backed on the heels and let the sky in. Actually number I and 3 were take sat on the floor pushing the camera through the railing and linking my arms round the rail. Not advisable. You also look a demented fool.

The races will be over tomorrow. Last of the bikes to capture. Boo Hoo! I will miss them and the tourists, especially two I met today called.... well no I will leave that to next week, but a lot of you will know who it is. Even got some photos too. Don't even ask about the mistaken identity and the Policeman. Next Week.

Others skies can be found here.

one day left.

See the week of racing just scroll down the posts this week.

Fantastic shots - The skies are what catch my eye tho! Very cool!

Dale said...

F..k the skies it's the bikes luv. Awesome.

EG CameraGirl said...

Good sneaking of the motorbikes into this meme! For sure I see sky. ;-)

It amazes me that the bikes and riders don't fall over at the angles they lean at. Neat to see these photos!

Barb said...

Babooshka - What a hoot! I was hoping you were on one of the bikes, though...

There was cloud cover during the race. That's pleasant weather I thought. Great snaps.

Sylvia K said...

Have a great weekend!

Bestemor Aud said...

Fun with the cloud carpet covering the bike's race. Very good captured!

Pretty Life Online said...

perfect catch for sky watch! God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be..... Mine's up too hope you can drop by... Have a great weekend!

Susan at Stony River said...

If you did look a 'demented fool' (which I doubt), it was SO WORTH IT! These are gorgeous and I love the bikes. It seems to have been a great week...I'm thinking I'll just have to get the kids over there one year for this. Thanks for sharing such splendid photos of it this time around!

Phil said...

Thanks for showing a positive side of the TT.

VALKYRIEN said...

Unusual for SkyWatch - and I like it! A lot of action, can't believe how you captured them so well! They have a lot of speed!

April said...

It looks like a pretty nice day. You've really captured the action - great photos!

laxeylass said...

YOU SAT ON THE FLOOR! What if a bike veered towards you? Top marks again.

Jane Hards Photography said...

LL- I only shot those two on the floor. Realized it was not such a good idea on the safety front.

Phil- only positive side of TT for me.

Susan - You have to come over at least once with the kids if only for the ice cream, never mind the bikes.

Unknown said...

I love this sport,this machine is very costly so I'm just a fan not the rider:)Nice Shot & have a wonderful weekend.

Brian Miller said...

Linda Jacobs said...

Great pictures!

Adrienne Zwart said...

Very interesting post. I like how you were thinking of the memes in which you participate as you shot.

Unknown said...

Great shots of the bikers, hats off to them for bravery and for your excellent photos.

Carver said...

I'm glad you are slipping the motorbikes into the themes. These are such great shots. It really does look like they are defying gravity.

alicesg said...

Lovely shot of the bikes in action. Looked like they are flying off the road. :) Have a nice weekend.

Sally in WA said...

Great shots, no matter how crazy you may have looked while taking them! :-)

Pearl Maple said...

Fun photos for sky watch friday, think we all know that feeling of looking a little crazy while we twist at odd angles to find the best view of the sky.

Eki said...

I don't know what it's called, but the moment when the motorbikes turn and tilt in a race like that is always the most exciting to me ...

Cool moments, B!

Would love to meet your friend(s) if they happen to be stopping in Bandung.

I loved this post. The photos were unique and the writing was so funny and so well done. LOL! Never thought I would see this on your blog.

Arija said...

You know I'm not a noise and stench fan but some of those shots you have captured with the shadows of the riders, resonate even with me!

Mo said...

Glad you managed to sneak the bikes into skywatch. Was hoping for more. Great not to be disappointed.

Gunilla said...

Jim Klenke said...

I would love to visit during this. I like the last one the best. The bike I mean, all of the pictures I like equally.

Elisabeth's bright side said...

You almost put me on a bike, I'll have that in mind next time I'm falling off the horse :)
Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. It is nice to be able to level out a little bit of all the "downsides" around us.

Janet said...

A neat motorsports Skywatch! You got some good shots while you were looking like a "fool." LOL

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

Beautiful skywatch shots. Great action in these.

Brett said...

Just announced you as my very first blog of the week, there is an award photo on my site if you want to display it. don't blush too much when you read it, you deserve it.

Mojo said...

You can show all of these you like! Any chance you can capture one or more of these bikes on the Swing Bridge?

Kidding. I WAS KIDDING.

VERY cool shots! Shame we don't have an event like that around here.

Small City Scenes said...

Of course you had to sneak the Moto race in along with the sky watch. LOL MB

Jan K. alias Afanja said...

Must be great to have such races for a week around you.
In two weeks it's time for the Dutch TT at Assen. That's about 50 km from where I live, but I don't think I'll go there. It's too crowdy for me. :-)
Enjoy your weekend and the rest of the races.

syel said...

wow! cool photos! i'm having an adrenaline rush just by looking at these!

Jane Hards Photography said...

The last race is over and the photos will be on soon. Back to quiet Ramsey for now. Babooshka is taking time out for a while to check the photos - over 1000 this year.

duopastorale said...

Cool photos :)

Jim, Bradden said...

Get any good ones of Connor today?

Dewdrop said...

So many mysteries... Love the dramatic sky. Very textured. Motorbiking looks exciting!

Jane Hards Photography said...

Yes Jim I did on all laps.

2sweetnsaxy said...

Try to avoid looking like a demented fool. LOL! The shots are wonderful and I've really enjoyed them. Great captures of these guys in action, especially with that lean they do.

Laughing Orca Ranch said...

All these action shots are just awesome!
I got a kick out of the Last of the Mohican's guys, too. Crazy mohawks on helmets.

~Lisa

Jim, Bradden said...

Have you got Connor in any other race too?

Unknown said...

You certainly have a lot of action in your Skywatch shots.

Havfruen said...

Thanks for Your comments:) Here it was a lot of action-picures, and I like it:)
Have a nice weekend:)

antigoni said...

I like motorbikes' racings but i prefer motor-cross than the street bikes. Great photos.

Great shots!! And you have over 1,000 photos to go through? That will take some time!

Looking like a demented fool could be a positive thing :) And thanks for appreciating my rant in Astoria. You encourage me!
