Hi All, Well i know i have been slack and haven't posted any pics for sometime now, but doesn't mean i am not here looking as i always look and the usual standard of photo's are as usual exellent. Anyhow Fozzie twisted my arm to post a few pics so here is a few bike pics from late.
This one taken with the D3 and Nikon 300m F2.8
Image
They have started a class inwhich children are allowed to race so they start off on these small 150cc bikes and this one taken at the recent titles held here.
Image
And when it all goes wrong, you just know it is going hurt. This is just 1 shot out of a series i took of this fellow coming off as there are pic of this on my site with him and the bike parting company, shot at 600m with D3.

Cheers
John

Great shots, tack sharp...but they seem to be missing a bit in the way of colour with the reds and yellows being very saturated and the background being muted. Is this an artifact of the mid day sun?

First time at the bikes with the D3 and well i was playing with settings on camera and adjusting saturation so also the sun was a big factor as i would normally not shoot on the dark side of the in this first picture but was amazed if the detail at shooting with the sun on otherside of the bike. The 2nd pic was taken with the D2x so i am still playing with D3 as i was today seeing what does what.

Love the eyes in the second - well, technically one eye really :wink:

It always adds a lot, especially with the bikes, when you can see the eyes through the visor.


Good to see some pics from you mate :)

BBJ - print and frame #1.

Might just have to invite myself down one weekend when the bikes are in action, and have a shoot out :)
