Whenever there's a camera around they tend to take it to an extreme. lol That berm was ripe for railing though.

IMO my biggest weakness has been composition, so lately I've been trying to focus more on that. Here are a couple shots from tonight, what are your thoughts?









Those last two were pretty hard to get, 4th gear jump and I was 2 feet from him. Had to change my underwear after.

Great shots....motor cross is not easy as you have to position yourself right in the action....be careful and keep up the great shooting!

Thanks Mully. Yeah I've had a few close calls, the worst one that I remember is when a rider lost control and the bike landed ~3ft from me.

Those are all great. Super sharp! Love the color, but yeah no joke can they move the cars over for you guys!

I love these action shots. I think you did an awesome job capturing the moment and freezing the action. Obviously the background is less then desirable, but I think with time and some photoshop you can change it out.

Hope you don't mind as your images state ok to edit. I took your first and 4th images and did a quick and not so clean around the edges edit. Using the background from the 4th into the 1st. I am no pro editor by any means, but you can see that you can improve your images. I didn't try to get a perfect cut around the rider with my selection, but you get my point.

Yeah I'd thought about doing that, think I even mentioned it in previous post.

The hardest part is getting the roost (flying dirt) right.

 

[myko5]

Yea, I quickly questioned myself on how I might achieve that. After flipping the #4 photo horizontally, I just cloned some of the roost into the shot as well. It was all headed in the same direction after I flipped the rider. But like I said, a better job could be done. I honestly have just been trying to sharpen up my skills some and used this as an opportunity to do so.

Ok these are HOT. I am super inspired. Great work.

Swapped out the background on this one, if only it was like that from the start.

I really like that edit! But, where is the roost????

I captured it when the bars were at the lowest point, the throttle gets cracked open right after this. (I was going for bar dragging shots)
