As close as you can get
If you...
look...
closely...
you can see just how close I was. Check out those flies on the windscreens!Really got to leave you with a few quick images from the Dainese Superbike Race. John McGuiness the winner( sorry image already booked for the magazine) and me with the photos. Will upload the first side car race soon. 249 images to sort through tonight and guess what? Probably 249 to take again tomorrow. As you can see I am in two different vantage points to take these. Maybe you were there?
Continues tomorrow

Must be one heck of an afternoon. Never seen this in person. Lovely shots. Why do I ever wonder?
Whoah!!!!!!!
Thank You.
Wow! The last shot is just awesome!!!
Wow--my son and I love watching it together on the television when we can, but I'm sure it's nothing compared to being there! Those shots are fantastic.
Great superbike race shots.

Wonderful captures.Full of colour and excitment.
What fabulous shots! And it does look like fun. Fun post as always, Babooshka!
Have a great week!
It looks fun and frightful all at the same time. Fabulous action series, Babooshka...
Looks like an exciting race. It's amazing how far those bikes can lean to one side without falling over completely!
Great action photos!!! I know I've told you this before, but I love the way you match the color of your text to the photos!
Susie- I can't remember why I started doing that but it sort of works. Arty Farty me again.
That makes even me excited about the race and eeh yes I could spot the fly
That's an amazing how you could capture such neat action photos. I think I would have blur photos...lol. Have a nice day.
Help me B! I got all blurred images. I have a Nikon D 90 so I know I should have strong pics. On the hairpin. Any suggestions.
great captures! you must have quite a day!
Very neat! What a great way to spend the afternoon.
Glad the weather cleared enough for the race to take place. You certainly had a great view - it looks like the bikes are coming right at you on that curve!
Can I just point out Babooshka is not the only Isle of Man photographer who covers the TT. Many of us here.
This is not sour grapes. I am a huge fan of your creative and astonishing work around Ramsey. I also find your text amusing. This love in is a little OTT though. On that note I compliment fully on your work today.
Super motorbikers! You must be too close to take the shots, how exciting! Never been to one!
Babooshka: Wonderful photos of the racers making the curves.
Wow I love your action photos. Thanks for sharing, Anna :)
Damn girl, were you standing on the track?
Fantastic action shots Babooshka! And thanks for your very kind comment. I only do photography for the love of it :)
encore une belle série de motos, superbe.
another nice series of motorbikes, haughtiness.
I posted a motorbike as well but not like these!
Great photographs. So pleased the weather is fine for the racing. Must be very exciting but very intense work. And then sorting through in the evening. Wow, good luck with it all.
Good for yu and great shots, but I cannot get far enough away from man-made noisy machines.
Thank you all again. Good to see you are enjoying the bikes. More fun today and hopefully show you the sidecars tonight. Now that is dnagerous.
Dangerous business :-) Largest telezoom only.
PS Thank you for the comment - blogging may lead to the most amazing and entertaining friendships.
Give my regards to Denise - she once promised to meet me in Newcaatle after I told her we had planned to go to the UK this summer. But then the stopped the ferry...
I like the photos. Mostly because they don't come with the NOISE!
How exciting! Is this a street race or in the circuit? Well, either way, it must be surrounded by a great engine notes! How, exciting!
Feel like we are there. Great images
Excellent photos! Ths looks like an incredibly fast and exciting sport.
Wow!! Really, really close! I would be affraid!

RuneE- Hoping to see Denise Thur.
Sailor Girl- All under control for U for ABC and yes it will be a TT connection.
Ben. It is indeed just the normal roads not a track. Hoping to show some wide shots so you can see the town better.
IT4 Filming in Ramsey. Babooshka mght be in the crowd scenes tonight. Try and spot me. Ha ha.
Red Arrows display, just got the images.
Nope. Wasn't there. And too bad too! I think I'd like this. But I'll rely on you dear Babs. You always bring back the best stuff.

Orange, white and blue. That´s the kinda colours a real sporty motorcycle should have.
These are amazing shots! I appreciate these even more after taking those motor cross shots.
Great shots! I would be scared out of my wits on one of those bikes!!
