    Buzz,

    I must have been about 30 paces from you. I was back a little from the guy leaning against the wall in your third image. Had you an invisible cloak on you???? I didn't see anybody in your direction other than a couple beside us with a camera phone poised ready for action.

    First time to drop by to one of these. I was amazed at how quick it was over - really you needed to be ready.

    I went mad with shutter speed and ended up with more ISO than desired. Anyhow, here a couple of my efforts from tudder side of the road ;)

    Even with the speed it happened at, I was surprised by being able to get a few landscape orientations;

    Anyway, a belated 'hello' and maybe next time - now if only we'd both been doing the secret boards photography forum hand signal ;)

    Some nice shots there Cat. I was there with my son from about 1pm. All I saw was a couple sitting on the wall for ages - waiting for the RAS with no obvious camera gear. I deliberately chose the spot at the entrance to the Boyne school to catch the castle oof. A lad and gf pulled up alongside me and he took some stills and video, but knew nothing of boards or Navan camera club. Gas thing was I was actually looking out for Danny, thinking he’d be around.

    And there was me thinking I’d wear my pink headband ;)

    Here’s what I saw from my vantage point

    Actually is that you taking portrait shots on the wall above that couple ?

    Tis me alright - was standing on the wall - nicely obscured! The little one (red dress visible) was there with me. Think she got a few good shots too. Will have a look later.

    Ah, I'm obviously not that observant - Thought I would have spotted the pink hair band from miles away :D

    You must have arrived just before the race. I was keeping an eye on that corner for any other photogs but couldn't see any - then the bikes came and well you just hadn't time to look at anything else.

    Next time pink headbands, pipe (for the smoke signal), and secret hand shake :pac:
