Race Shots

Faster glass would have been nice... Shot with a 3.5-5.6 300mm.

Hey

Nice shots mate, I'm a biker and would love to try some shots like that but just havent got around to it.

Is photo 1 of Rossi?

The only thing I would say is its a shame the wheels have been stopped on the second photo, a little bit of blur on the wheels would have given it a greater sense of motion.

Do you ride?

I like these. You may try a little slower shutter speed next time for shots like number two. Shows more motion in the wheels and background.

Laguna Seca? First shot T6, 2nd shot bottom of the corkscrew right?

Slower shutter speed mate on that 2nd photo will give it some motion. I was there at MotoGP too... I posted some laguna photos from the AMA superbike races here too

Thanks for the feedback. Yes number one is of Rossie. They were taken at the USGP back in july. I was having a hard time getting the bikes tack sharp from front to back because I had to use such a small aperture to get enough light in. I hear shooting in overcast sky's is best for getting good color on bikes like these. Also faster glass like a f2.8 300mm would have been nice!
Yes I ride also.
Thanks again!
