SLAPPER's MASTERPIECES

 

In this Classic piece of work.  Mark (The Slapper - Don't ask) anticipates the speed of the riders and captures the "Feel" of the speed of the riders with the masterful use of their  shadows.
   
In this piece, The Slapper uses the photographic setting to impart the feeling of Man machine & nature.
   
Same feeling as above.  However in this one the Slapper pushes the boundaries of the 3 times optical lens. 

ps Don't ever say we don't put photos of you on the website.  You can clearly see Alan Sumner leading D grade in this shot.
   
Another example of the Slapper pushing the boundary of the 3 times optical zoom to the limit.  Whereas you and I would simply take a shot of the 6 riders coming into the corner, The Slapper uses the shot to show everyone in the race.  Even if the last rider is 100 metres behind.
   
In this shot, The Slapper is obviously making a statement about A Grade.  Something along the lines that Heffron Park is much bigger than they are.
   
   
Yet another example of the Slapper's Man, machine nature philosophy.  This style is now very prevalent in the Slapper's work.
   
Yet another example of  the faceless A Grade.  Something along the lines of you being mere pawns in the larger picture of life.
