*If you're wondering, BC refers to "Before Canon", when I was using a Fujifilm S7000 digital camera. Not quite DSLR, but digital nonetheless.*
That camera now belongs to a more seasoned blogger who seems to be using it well.
The following pictures were taken circa 2004 to 2006 at Johor Circuit.
A young rider from Thailand
The rest of the riders
I've always liked balloons
A section of supporters with similar bike make
A close up of the supporters' bikes
Another angle
The exhuberant supporters dressed to their T's
I liked their colourful machines
See... I like balloons...
The ubiquitous umbrella-girls. Their job : to carry umbrellas.. hehee
One of the participating Thai teams
Le Mans style start : the riders at one side of the road...
... their machines on the opposite side. The riders have to run to their machines and start it and zoom off.
At the side event : a display of well-kept older machines by enthusiasts
This kid will grow up to have an affinity (or even fetish) for bikes...
Another side-event : a children's competition to draw and colour
Two more engrossed in their tasks
Part of the crowd from in and around Pasir Gudang
These clowns were quite friendly.. :)
But I wouldn't want to be in their shoes though
The DJ's on duty. The guy in black is a Fred Flinstone wannabe... hehehe
The two pro's who hantu'ed me into buying a proper DSLR eventually.. hmmm
The guy in red is a well-known Thai tv host who came to the race to do a documentary on the Thai teams
Errrrr.. I wouldn't want to guess what's on her mind with her stance like that..
A winner in one of the categories
"Lihatlah dunia...." ala Azean Irrawaddy river... huhuhu
Can they do that in public leh...
Another winner
Having dinner at the hotel I was staying. Trying to shoot the flame
I think he had a farm?
A budding golfer in the years to come
Can you see me? LoLs~
Nice protection for the head, ya?
Being the deviant that it is wont to be
Up for grabs
At the starting grid
Last minute preps for a competing team
Love this magenta fuel tank
And a pink / lilac bike...
*ahem... ahem*... koff koff... splutter. Colourful refreshment stall, no?
Hey kid... where are you off to?
Cute potential Shoe-Marker?
But all he wanted was his colouring book prize...
That's what I do when someone near me lets off wind..
Ok guys.... take a number~~!!
A messenger boy of one of the teams
These are called cars...
These are called bored firemen on standby duty
A distinctively meaningful marque
A not-so-successful clown
The video production crew. Yeah I felt that way too
A face...... *ahem*..
I managed to shoot a moving thing~~!!! Hurray...
That face again.... *ahem*
The girls are umbrella girls.. The guy.. errmmm.. ermmm their chaperone?
Oh.. it COULD get very hot and tiring being a racer you know...
And they are friendly to photographers...
That's all for now folks. Will post part 2 IF and WHEN I find more pictures from my archives.
