Its not easy actually trying to get these slow shutter shots to work but when they do they produce great results. I like how the slow shutter shows the imense speed of these riders as they battle the soaring heat and competition of some of the best riders from around Australia and the world.

For the bike fans out there this is Robbie McEwen who actually ended up winning the race.

I agree about the slow shutter shots, you've achived a nice effect here, the blurred bikes in fron add lot's of dynaic to the pict; For me those 3 guys seem like hanging up in space though, I don't get a feeling of a solid ground...
nonetheless, great shot

Hi Darren. It's a great shot, the action is very well captured. Although, I think it is Nick Gates, not McEwen. Anyways, excellent shot, nice work.

Well done; great shot.

Great action shot, Darren - the streaks of colour give a real sensation of speed. I was intrigued as to how one rider is quite sharp but the others are much more blurred. I assume that must have been because the rider on the right, whom you must have been panning, was coasting for a moment and thus his speed was diferent to the other two. Cheers . . . David
