 Paeroa Battle Of The Streets

This event is held once a year. It really is racing through the streets & the bikes get up to 280km per hour. It is very exciting to watch as you can get very close to the bikes racing.

Trying out my new monopod here.

Like the pair in unison. Good focus. Not saying you can avoid it but the hay on the track disrupts the background a bit. Good shot all round.

Nice subjects, it's too bad you didn't get a sharper focus on the bikes and riders, especially the sponsors.

I myself am a fan of motorcycle's so I'm a little biased on this one and it's a great capture. It also helps that Yamaha is dominant in this photo LOL :)10 from me.
