Gee...let me guess ;-)

The hat looks a wee bit familiar...

um? um? ah? gee! give up

I'm sure I've seen that bloke leaning on a shovel somewhere!

... nice jacket ... I didn't notice at first

Yes ... quite a fashion statement!

Now the film work's dried up is it Crocodile Dundee?

"That's not a lens...THIS is a lens"

if you had only placed your bag in front of you that poor motobicyclist wouldn't have had to get so much air to try to determine:
a)what kind of bag it was
b)whether you were following a one lens one camera policy
c)whether you were employing a two body colour/mono approach
d)to case or not to case
e)to neck strap or to hand strap
f) RF for wides OM for tele
g)etc..

Hope the shots came out well.

Is that the new day-glo vest that all photographers are required to wear in public places? Accompanied by the bloke walking ahead, waving the flag?

Ah, you're for the Dutch team...!

I actually found being able able to wander around the middle of a motocross track with a camera a real hoot! The organisers only requirement was a signature on a form and the pictured vest.

It also made me realise how good a camera the D700 really is at this sort of thing ... though I guess most high end DSLRs are in their element here. Definitely not rangefinder territory!

I considered getting a high-vis vest with "CAUTION PHOTOGRAPHER" on the back, I imagine no one would notice me then ... never got round to it, as with most things

Can we see the actual image you took?

As to photographer's identity, Was that really Paul Hogan?

I took around three hundred and fifty over saturday and sunday but I'm pretty sure this was at about that time.

Cool shot. Looks like it was a vintage motocross event, was it? I always have a good time shooting at the races.

You're right on ... it was vintage so consequently very relaxed with no big egos out there just guys having fun.

Amazing to see so many two strokes!

I recommend the kevlar version.

Very cool!!

My barber started racing when he was a kid and still races now in his late forties. Out of high school he lived his dream of being a sponsored pro that traveled around the country for several seasons. He told me about his previous approach to racing (ego, aggressive, etc.) and how he occasionally he gets thrown into an open age group where young whipper snappers do to him as he used to do unto others.

i want one too! please...
