Minimoto ShootOut

VVvvvrrrooommmmmmm!!!!!!!..............

The exhaust sound is not as loud as F1 car. The body is not as bulky as MotoGP. The rider is as young as 6 years old. The track is as short as 300 meter. That's Minimoto sports. What is Minimoto??? Minimoto's size is one third of MotoGP attached with less than 100cc engine. The minimoto is only suitable for children to teenager from age 4 to 14 years old...

On 3rd February 2007, my colleague and I went to Minimoto track near my working place to try out motorsport photography. This is also my first try on motorsport photography. Well, it is not as easy as what written in photography magazine about motorsport photography. I having difficulty during whole period of shooting session. The difficulties I encounter :
1) shoot at night
2) close distance
3) lens' F-stop not big enough

From 200+ photos I shot on that night, only less than 10% can be used but not in good quality (still a little blur). The whole shootout session is a real useful experience to me. I will try again in near future. Below are some 'good'(considered..) shot for you to critiques......... Enjoy...
