Nice shots for sure.

Some offer slighly strange color balance on my ISPP screen. The yamahas in the beginning (blue) and the ohlins shock shot for sure. Both show a magenta/red cast.


Many are marketable professionally.

Nice stuff!

I really enjoyed looking at your photos, thanks for sharing.

1st and 3rd are good, I probably would have shot at a bit smaller aperature to get the whole bike in sharp, but other than that you got a great set of photos.

I pulled that one. =) the yamaha shot I brought in some magenta because I thought the blue was too powerful... I need an ISPP screen. Any recommendations on where to begin.. on a limited budget of course.

Thanks for the comments... I think this is the first time you've commented on our photos... and upon seeing your professional experience.. that DOES mean a lot. Thanks dood!

I felt it cool to chime in.

It's not my first time (ask RKA), but as above, I rarely comment.

You might have wanted to try pulling down the saturation and maybe even the conrast if the blue was too strong, but those looked fine to me.

Take care,

Mike S

the walkway... then the straight into turn 10.

overall, very nice. I noticed the shutter speeds went a little high in some pics (the rotors are clearly frozen), yet in others, you had that nice motion blur in the wheels. So you know what to do...just need to be more consistent.

Watch the angle...for instance, that kart in one of the pics is at nearly 40 degrees. A little tilt isn't bad, but too much is...too much.

The pics of the moto-x bikes mid air are great. Just pull bad and great the ground into the pic. You really need the ground to establish some frame of reference, and give it that sense of "height" and danger.

Like I said, overall, very done. Those were the only three things that stood out. I loved the shots of the bikes in the garage, and the Ohlins damper. Great lighting, depth of field, etc.

and turn ten is a right turn. I guess what is throwing me is that the angle of the shot hides the downward grade into turn 9

these shots..

I confused

the pic was taken from the fence along the straight before turn 10.

this picture below was taken from the same fence line.. just further down closer to the turn...

in this picture you can see the straight before turn 11 in the top right.. the corvette and r8 are heading for the right turn at turn 10

200s are always handheld. 300s sometimes. 400s + generally pan with monopods...
