An hour later we were at the track, and we walked around checking the usual bike stuff out, trying to find where to get our caps and t-shirts that were in our ticket deals... It wasn't easy... they wanted my passport AND credit card as proof of who I was... Lucky I had it!
Anyway, on to the qualifying. An exciting day, we popped from view to view, checking out the best bits of the track, and figuring out where we want to see on raceday.
The noise of a MotoGP bike is something astounding... it hurts! I cannot believe the sound that those bikes make... stunning... the video below does not do it justice....
We settled for the back straight, as besides seeing bikes do 300km per hour, you can also see about another 1/3 of the track... so a good vantage point... At one point I was watching Rossi come into a very tight corner, and bless him... he crashed... He was fine, but it has put him quite far down in position.
I was experimenting with HDR, a technique that involves taking the same photo with several different shutter speed settings and then merging them into photoshop... Such as, this photo below.. which is actually made up of 8 separate photos merged together... I would like to know what you think..?
After qualifying, we headed out of the circuit to catch the bus home... we had to wait 90 mins before one appeared, and then 90 mins to get back to the city centre....JOY!!
Then we decided to take a walk to a market... After miles of walking and being sent in the wrong direction by some "helpful" person, we found it.... TAT!! They sold the cheesiest crap... we left, and went home to bed, ready for raceday!
