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.

Fantastic shots - The skies are what catch my eye tho! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteF..k the skies it's the bikes luv. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood sneaking of the motorbikes into this meme! For sure I see sky. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me that the bikes and riders don't fall over at the angles they lean at. Neat to see these photos!
Babooshka - What a hoot! I was hoping you were on one of the bikes, though...
ReplyDeleteWath a beautiful action shots ! ! !
ReplyDeleteGreat!

There was cloud cover during the race. That's pleasant weather I thought. Great snaps.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots! Love the bikes! Wish I could have been there! Glad it was such fun!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Fun with the cloud carpet covering the bike's race. Very good captured!
ReplyDeleteperfect 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!
ReplyDeleteIf 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing a positive side of the TT.
ReplyDeleteUnusual 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!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a pretty nice day. You've really captured the action - great photos!
ReplyDeleteYOU SAT ON THE FLOOR! What if a bike veered towards you? Top marks again.
ReplyDeleteLL- I only shot those two on the floor. Realized it was not such a good idea on the safety front.
ReplyDeletePhil- 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.
I love this sport,this machine is very costly so I'm just a fan not the rider:)Nice Shot & have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeletenice action shots! bet they were fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post. I like how you were thinking of the memes in which you participate as you shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the bikers, hats off to them for bravery and for your excellent photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are slipping the motorbikes into the themes. These are such great shots. It really does look like they are defying gravity.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of the bikes in action. Looked like they are flying off the road. :) Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, no matter how crazy you may have looked while taking them! :-)
ReplyDeleteFun 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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 ...
ReplyDeleteCool moments, B!
Would love to meet your friend(s) if they happen to be stopping in Bandung.

Babooshka: I do love your race photos and the way you capture all the action on the curve.
ReplyDeleteexcellent & creative skywatch post. How do you get something moving so fast to look so still ? !

ReplyDeleteit is really your speciality, they are splendid your photographs of motorcycle racings
Great action shots, that must have been such fun to see those bikes zipping by.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots for SWF and I have enjoyed learning about the "TT". Thanks for sharing and have a great time.

ReplyDeleteHave a nice Skywatch Friday!!
This is amazing set of images
ReplyDeleteLove this one!
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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteGlad you managed to sneak the bikes into skywatch. Was hoping for more. Great not to be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting.
Have a great weekend
Gunilla in Sweden
Amazing shots of the bikes.Very good!
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit during this. I like the last one the best. The bike I mean, all of the pictures I like equally.
ReplyDeleteYou almost put me on a bike, I'll have that in mind next time I'm falling off the horse :)
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
A neat motorsports Skywatch! You got some good shots while you were looking like a "fool." LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skywatch shots. Great action in these.
ReplyDeleteJust 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.
ReplyDeleteYou can show all of these you like! Any chance you can capture one or more of these bikes on the Swing Bridge?
ReplyDeleteKidding. I WAS KIDDING.
VERY cool shots! Shame we don't have an event like that around here.
Of course you had to sneak the Moto race in along with the sky watch. LOL MB
ReplyDeleteMust be great to have such races for a week around you.
ReplyDeleteIn 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.
wow! cool photos! i'm having an adrenaline rush just by looking at these!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteCool photos :)
ReplyDeleteGet any good ones of Connor today?
ReplyDeleteSo many mysteries... Love the dramatic sky. Very textured. Motorbiking looks exciting!
ReplyDeleteYes Jim I did on all laps.
ReplyDeleteTry 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.
ReplyDeleteAll these action shots are just awesome!
ReplyDeleteI got a kick out of the Last of the Mohican's guys, too. Crazy mohawks on helmets.
~Lisa
Have you got Connor in any other race too?
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have a lot of action in your Skywatch shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for Your comments:) Here it was a lot of action-picures, and I like it:)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend:)
I like motorbikes' racings but i prefer motor-cross than the street bikes. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteTop days work.
ReplyDeleteTop days work.
ReplyDeleteJust heard about John. That is so sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat great shots, and how cool to be right here to see the races! I love motorbike races, the sound of the bikes really gets my adrenalin rushing. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of the motorbikes (and the sky)!
ReplyDeletevery exciting! Good combination of the sport and the sky. :) thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteNorwood
