It's been ages and ages since i've posted on here. I hate to say it but my interest was sparked at the thought of purchasing a 80-200ED... so I checked the for sale page.

I did feel guilty for using the forum like that, so I decided I should post something and try and reinvigorate my post count.





Also if anyone is interested, I have a few 'photobooks' of my photos over recent months. Feel free to have a look @ http://www.jamesdwade.com/photobook

I really like the first one, you have done well to with the lighting (available or have used some extra light?) I would be tempted for a closer crop though.

first shot was two flash, one to far left and one slightly to the right of camera.

second shot no flash just available @ 1.8.

Nicely done james.

The second doesn't quite match the overall adventure feel of this type of photography. It evokes feeling of softness etc. I am not sure whether the riders will like that.

We have been through this before I think. I know that James prefers to show the environment as this is an important thing for his clients.

Do you have any of the first with ambient knocked back?

There are just too many elements....cropping to the bottom of the stairs and removing a bit off each side will reduce the number of elements whilst still giving you a sense of the surrounds as well as giving the viewer a closer crop of the rider, and also a more pleasing image
