ABC WEDNESDAY - IIsle Of Man TT
Well what else was I going to have for the letter this week. A no brainer really. Actually it came in quite handy as I am re sorting the images due to the publication of some fresh ones in Motoaction Magazine. Folks Remember, people read your blog and see your images. The ones in the mag, are ones from the blog, and remember my best bike images don't make the blog.
Again the image was taken, back alley Taubman St. looking onto the Swan pub. It's a low res watered down blog version. This image does require a decent camera, to handle the speed, low light, a telscopic/telephoto lens and a steady hand. So this is a real bog standard job photo, because that's me a photographer. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it!

"The first race was held on Tuesday 28 May 1907"
28 MAY?? Nice nice. I love that date so much. LOL. :)
Wow.. Race under some act of Parliament where road could be closed for the race. Thats good to avoid any illegal race. :)
I didn't read all your information :-( I'm sorry ... but I loved the photo.
But, what else? "I"sle of Man! Great photo, and interesting narrative.
Ooh la. What else. Magic shot.
Good one - and your poor girl. I'm so sorry for you, having to do the "dirty" job of taking images like that. Life's tough! ;)
Cheers, Klaus
.. and well done on having the pics picked up too!
One day I'll be there for the TT.
One day....

A great action shot. As you know I like to take action shots, but would love a pro camera and lens; maybe one day!
You know something I never gave Isle of Man a thought for the letter I but it's perfect. Great capture of the rider. As you say dirty work but someone has to do it.
Ah the TT. Of course. Perfect but who is he? Yer man is a very clever artist to work for the BBC. They knocked me back.
Interesting information and of course it was a no brainer for your choice for the letter I.
Great.
wOW, cool action shot.
And congratulations for your photos being published in the Moto Action magazine.
i'm not a motorcycling fanatic, but i'm sure there'd be lots to see and do on your island!
A great post, watch Moto GP all the time.
Thanks for comments on my "I" post
Cool picture, so clear, so sharp. Poor you having to do such a terrible job..
Hello Babooshka !
Plus de cent ans que la course existe !
C'est vieux...
What else indeed than an Isle of Man TT image. Low res or not, it delivers the thrill of action! Thanks, Babooshka!
13 supoused to be bad luck..here is just good things, great shot and ...did he win...???
I have heard that this is quite the racing area!
Greate.I enjoyed it:)
Well, of course... The Mountain Course.
Our pose back in history in 1993 was due to everyone waiting for the timer on the old camera to work.
Yesterday evening, my husband has bought a big motor-cycle...
encore une belle photo de course de moto. On dirait le chevalier noir.
still a beautiful photo of motorcycle racing. Looks like the black knight.
congratulation Babooshka!
you are a real Artist!
"Isle of man": a mythic place!
Thanks for your visit on my blog...

Vrooom! I love photos brimming with testosterone!
It's very clever to take a shot like that! It's just at the right time and place. I always wonder why people can ride like that and not fall!!
this is such a brilliant picture! looks like he is searching for something he dropped on the street! :)
Thanks for visiting Rinkly Rimes. I loved the Isle of Man when I was over there some years back, We enjoyed an evening at the theatre in Douglas, where we also got blown off our feet.
"Low res watered down blog version" it may be, but it's a lovely shot! A beautiful look at a classic cornering technique.
A fantastic action shot. Possibly dangerous for the photographer as well. Friend of the family was killed in this race one year. It is still a thrilling race. Would love to see it insitu one day.
This is a lovely 'I' Image.
dynamic!
ive always felt that taking action shots can be a little too messy, too tricky so usually steer away from them (no pun intended!), especially when the subject is moving at speeds like this!
cool info on the TT Race too!
unlucky 13 is lucky for you!
nice job :)
Your capture is nice to see.
The scene is nice too. I have a relative who does this for a living. Or did?
Yep, that's me coming back ... but I'm going to keep it real cool and relaxed. Got some issues to fix and that don´t allow me to blog so often and keep in touch that ofetn ... but I sure liked seeing BABOOSHKA back in town, that is, visiting my modest corner!
Ferreira-Pinto is a.k.a Quinttarantino; just in case.
No problems for the letter I for you then! :D
Great capture!!!
I loved these pictures the first time. Every one was a keeper.
Ah, now I know what all the MC-people on the blogs were shouting about! Thank you for telling me.
No doubt "Mr. Vespa," Chuck Pefley would approve!
Good action photo.
Great shot -- the excitement really comes across...
Curious that the rider would use a "13" as his number, however...
Cracking shot.
There were motorcycles back in 1907? Do-h!
Sounds and looks exciting!
Dear B,
This photo remind me on this summer when I travelled with my boyfriend by motorbike Yamaha......Until I met him, I didn't want to hear about motorbikes, but he did everything,on his own way, to prove that it is nice and exciting expirience..Now, I agree with him
Fantastic shot Babooshka...I would love to be right there on the side watching!
Wow....looking at this reminds me of why I am afraid of riding one of these.
Interesting and Informative post for ABC Wednesday letter I.
Bear((( )))
Oh WOW! I loved this B! We will be seeing some of the racers on Sunday as the Gold Cup Races are on at Scarborough. I'll have my camera with me so will hopefully get some good pictures.
great catch... Bravo...
Great shot - worth the effort to get that split second
You got it!
what an intense moment you captured here!
masterpiece! cheers!
"And you want to see what they won't show" well, send it on and we'll post it on this side of the Atlantic!
Great capture! Interesting post!
You're right it is a no brainer. Nice bit of history.
Excellent shot of the bike in action!
Dad tries to go over every year for the TT (and if not the TT, then the Manx). He stays in Ramsey, of course!
