The youngster on New Years Eve. He and a couple of friends duct taped
party hats and streamers to their helmets. My camera (Nikon 35mm) is
apparently not recognizing film speed properly. I'm wondering if the
constant exposure to MX type elements might have something to do with
it...

I like the effects of a blurred background with the rider in focus. This
is easy to obtain with a half decent digicam with the setting in the
'fast' or 'sport' setting , with the photographer following the bike and
clicking as the rider comes near. Makes for some very cool effect with
the added bonus of a sense of speed.

Nope. 400 speed film. Mid 60s. Heavy overcast, but, damn.

I liked the way it turned out, but that isn't what I was looking
for.
