Those pics are awesome. How close were you to the track? What lens do you use?

These are all really good, but that third one is fantastic. You've got the 2nd rider's head & numbers captured perfectly behind the lead rider. Awesome work and timing.

I'm not a great fan of MotoGP, but your shots are excellent, Ching, very professional. I think the third shot is my favourite.

I see you had some tasty kit, too! :-D I'm considering a 300/4 myself at some point..

well, initially i was using the 300mm 2.8, but it was way too heavy to be handheld (monopod was occupied by another friend with the 400mm). Settled with the 300/4 coz its outdoor and i do not need a very thin DOF. Most pictures are shot at f4.0 or higher.

Biaggi, Gibernau, and Rossi. Looks like you got all the big names covered. Very cool shots. I would love to get up close to a MotoGP race.

Wonderful action shots that any professional motor racing photographer would be proud of.

Would have been great for the Stopped Motion II challenge!!

have to dissappoint you in this though :( did not take any of the above. There were some Marlboro girls, and umbrella girls on race day only, and pit/grid pass were limited.
