Immaculate
Beautiful shots, as ever. I particularly like the one of Takaaki Nakagami - if he leaned any further he'd be lying down, perfectly captured here.
Great pics
Great pics, but the standouts for me are the huge suspension squat of Jack Miller's bike on corner exit, and that angle of Takaaki Nakagami.
Ducati
I'm probably biased, but that Ducati looks beautiful.
I like how you've captured the struggle between form and function; the lines on the salad box, the reflection of carbon weave on the wings, the profile on the intake.
I feel the other manufacturers don't consider the styling as much as these guys when they design their bikes..
beauty
is in the eye of the beholder, or so they say. I agree, that shot of Dovi's is a very gooone and flatters teh Duc. The one of Miller's coming out of the corner is the absolute oppopsite for me. All these bits hanging of the bike, and with it squatting at the time of the shot teh proportions are all out in my opinion. I quite like the look af the KTM's including the colour scheme adn the Yammies are also not too shabby.
I do love the photos in general htough and they are one of the highlights foe me after every race. Particularily the tech ones. It's fun and very interesting to see and read the expanations to all the detail that goes into one of these rockets!
thanks!
Tongue bitten bloody Red re
Tongue bitten bloody Red re the Duc styling.
Impressive? Yes. Interesting and complex? Yes.
It has...lumps, like...cancer. It is digital. Least beautiful GP bike I have ever seen. But I think it is cool, and want one to win round 3.
True.
I would really like to see the Ducati run without all the exterior gadgets and see its real lines.
That lean angle...
...that Rossi is carrying in the 1st corner.
Contrast
The constrast between the elegant beauty of the Suzuki and the dystopian agglomeration of the Ducati is stunning. Both mesmerizing to pore over and study, both are awe-inspiring, yet from such contrasting schools of design. Only a week and a wake up...
