Fran the foamcutter

Thanks Kyle.

No, the thing that appears to be standing on the apex of the corner is just a dead fly on the visor ;-)

Well spotted. I tried zooming in to see what revs James was doing but it wasn't readable.

Fantastic shot Fran.

Does this count as a self-portrait also?

Dat way dair.

Thanks Shane :)

Love the starburst effect here Fran.

Which way is up again?

Patience isn't my strong suit, I like karting and being able to get close to the action. It's a bonus that I can mix it with my interest in photography.

Thanks for the comment Kyle.

I started sorting through some of the images last night, I'm down to 420ish now. I'm almost sure that I've got some of you (Black plate 88 with a clear visor)
I'll probably post the group photos to flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/foamcutter/collections/72157628687158835/ and to the Motorsport Ireland group on Facebook
I only use pixie for selected karting/bike images (many images are of the same type, just with a different racer)

great photos fran.

this was my first time racing - any photos of the Bilands (I'm number 88 :) )

Thanks Gerry. It was a fun morning getting shots, pity the sky only improved in the afternoon when it was to late.

Thanks Denis.

Thanks Philip and Brian.
I think it was a mixture of snow & ice. The mesh protects the RTE transmitter on the top of Black Mountain (north of Dundalk). The summit was covered in cloud with a very strong wind. When we left we only decended about 50-75m and we were back to green mountainside & hazy sunshine. It was very weird.

Nice elongated shape to this one. Something different from the usual circular ones. Like it.

What a find, great shot.

Thanks Gerry. I was playing with different items to see what results I got. The burning rag was the best of them.

Thanks Gerry & Chris. Lucky to catch the late afternoon sunshine after such a grey and miserable day.

ditto...

great shot !

Thanks for the comments.
Hopefully it will be a successful event and raise plenty of money :)

This is just terrific thank you so much
