Track Attack 2009 – Round 6, Knox (Set 2)

Here is the second set of pictures from the final round of Track Attack from Knox. (Don’t forget to check out the first set of you haven’t already.) I still haven’t been through the third card I took that day, so it looks like there is still on more set to come.

Beastie Boys Live On Letterman

This is one of the most incredible performances by the Beastie Boys for a TV show, and the best performance I have ever seen on Letterman. It has been put together very well.

Track Attack 2009 – Round 6, Knox (Set 1)

Track Attack’s final round was on Sunday, yet I didn’t get to starting to sort out the pictures until Monday. And started is pretty much all I have done. I have sifted the contents of the first card and realised I had selected almost 200 pictures as being worthy of posting here. All I had shot on that card was basically practice up to around half way through Moto 1. So I have decided to split them into sets. Here is the first set, there may be one or two more sets to follow, but that depends on what I find on the other two cards!

Track Attack 2009 – Round 5, South Eastern

Saturday was Track Attack Rd 5 at South Eastern and I broke out the camera again to take some happy snaps. I had added an extra 4Gb of UltraIII to my arsenal with the winnings I got from the Eastfield money board on Tuesday night. That meant an extra 700 pictures to sort through! All in all, I took almost 2000 shots for the day, and here are the best of the best…..

Track Attack 2009 – Round 4, Frankston

Track Attack round 4 saw us head to the Frankston and reach for the Aeroguard (the mozzies are the size of a small bird there). Oh, and I also reached for the 450D and attempted to take some happy snaps in the challenging light conditions. I’ve somehow come away with 141 images in the gallery below despite the fast loss of light.

Oh, and I went out and bought another 4Gb of fast sD card, so expect more from the final two rounds of Track Attack.

Track Attack 2009 – Round 3, Eastfield

Last night was the first of the two evening rounds of Track Attack, this one being held at Eastfield. Again, It was photo op time, and the aim was to try and fill my 8Gb of SD cards before the light got too low. I managed to get through the first 4Gb card when the boss took over camera duties so I could grab a mega-burger at the canteen. She gave it a red hot go in the low light and managed to find a few decent shots before it got too dark.

The crowning achievement of the night was me winning 1st prize on the money board and my daughter getting 3rd. It is the only thing I have a chance of winning at an open race!

So here it is, the 90+ pretty good shots for the evening…
