BMX photos

[Dillard]

I really like the set. Especially how you know what to shoot based off your experience. I shoot national paintball, which is a very similar situation. People recommend different shots, but my years of playing and shooting experience knows what the people themselves want to see, as well as the magazines. Wonderful work :thumbup:

Are you using off camera flash? The indoor park i shoot at is a lighting nightmare, Its dark and yellow so I usually try to over power their lighting with my own. Umbrellas are great too for getting the nasty shadows off any nearby walls. being a rider my self, We want to see good photos of ourselves, with perspective properly showing the magnitude of the trick we are doing.

BMX riders practice these tricks and often shed alot of blood and even worse learning these skills. So i go into each shoot with the mindset of making their hard work look as good as i possibly can, Talk with the riders too sometimes they have specific angles in mind for the trick too.

Unfortunately I did not prepare accordingly and did not have my tripod, adapter for my speedlite nor did I bring my strobe. I'll be ready to practice more next go around.
