NW 200 Pics

[snooker]

Right, for all those who thought I snuck off yesterday for some nefarious purpose ( ) I really was taking some photos of some chaps on their motorized bicycles whizzing past the Mill Road roundabout at Portstewart.

And here's the evidence :






















































For any teccies or anyome who gives a toss , the camera is a Pentax K100D with a 20 year old bought second-hand for £50 Tamron Adaptall 300mm lens. All pics were taken at 30 metres range with a 1:2000 shutter speed at f8. I had to bump the ISO up to 800 because the light wasn’t great (thanks to Jack for the tip). Thanks also to Phil for the lot of stuff on photobucket tip.

Nurse, where’s my anorak??

Enjoy ;

Getting ready for the trip to the York

Apparently there was some bike racing on but I didn't get any photos but then we moved to the Barn:

The alcohol kicks in....

Someone faded early - definitely not a Redliner...
