AN AMAZING PHOTO


I have heard of motor cycle racers touching the track with theis arms, but I have never witnessed it.

 Anthony Shelley With Sparks Flying by Cyril Furman

I spoke to Anthony Shelley after the race.
There is titanium in the pad of his sleeve.
This causes the sparks.
Riders may NOT have titanium in their knee pads as this would endanger trailing bikes.

Stay focussed,

FULL MOON


I took this photo just 2 days before full moon in July


Full Moon by Cyril Furman
 
I was returning from motocross at about 4.30 PM.
I saw the moon and the pilons.
It took some time before I realised that there was a photo.
I turned around and drove back.
I hauled out my camera and walked a considerable distance in the veld.
This was one of the first five shots that I took.
I moved forewards, backwards, left and right to position the moon in relation to the pilon.
I used almost my full 600mm zoom as the pilon was quite far away.
I used 1/320 of a second @ f8 exposure and ISO 100.
I got full of blackjacks but I got the photo.
Always try and fill the frame.
 
Stay focused,
