Almost as good as your 'Larry' series - plenty of atmosphere there!!!

With the equipment available today there are hundreds of perfectly frozen images of the TT but they do not convey the feel or location of the event.

Cheers Don!

When I first stated photographing the races, I used to go for a fast shutter speed, like most people. It was when I started freelancing with IP that Monica Clark suggested I go down to a 250th to retain the sense of movement. It also gives better depth of field - especially for sidecars and handy when riders don't stick to the race line lol!

So Monica - thanks for the tip!!!

I knew there had to be a good reason why I didn't stick to my racing
line, Liz!!
