Motocross in Finland.

[moilami]

Day one was nice but where is day two which "will include pictures of women racing"? Or you just pulling our legs?

Ooops, lol no, will do the report

[richardktm]

Nice action shots.. and your comments are pretty entertaining keep the pictures coming, i love to see club level racing photographed well.. bring on the girls!! Oh and the people who use motorbike are called riders

rich

[moilami]

Yeah, but I had issues to call them riders because in Finnish only those who ride a horse or some other animal are called riders and rest are called drivers.

[euphonius]

"Driver" is completely acceptable English usage for the, errr, pilot of a motorcycle, though "rider" is perhaps more common. Legally, the term driver helps to distinguish pilot and pillion. Richardktm, does it say "rider" on your, errr, driver's license?

[moilami]

Ok very good to know, I will then switch back to word driver. For me it makes much more sense. That "pilot" of a motorcycle though sounds the best

On the second day I tested Sigma F2.8 135mm prime lense. The first picture will be of a Victory motorcycle.



A motocross rider cornering.



Struggling along.



Lonely on the top.



Warming up the head gear.



Reflections.



Going downhill.



Women preparing to race.



A woman revving an engine of MX bike. I wish you could hear the sounds.



I wonder what she is thinking just before the start.



It will be race on soon.

3...2...1



And...



GO!



Wohaa, what!



The first one is coming here after almost full first lap.



The rest are trying to catch up.



I really like a lot photographing motorcross and especially women doing it.



In my eyes they all were winners.



Everyone.



Problem?



Another start.



The Sigma lense required Zen focusing on my Nikon D50.



Watching the race.



No wignetting made to the photographs by software. Gotta love the Sigma.
