My best moto shot

[Okiewan]

IMHO, while not the greatest action, from a technical standpoint, this is the image I'm most happy with. I REALLY like the fact that the kid ran a clear lens, the eyes are what make the shot.

1/500 , f/11, ISO400, 146mm, no flash. (shutter priority)

 

[Kawidude]

Very nice! Some day I'll figure out how to get that kind of clarity in my moto shots.

 

[Okiewan]

The Sigma 70-200 EX DG helps a LOT, it's by far the sharpest lens I've got.

I may need to sell the bikes so can I drop more coin on this hobby!

I want to be like this guy! He's a regular on one of the Canon forums I frequent. Can you say "MONEY?" :ohmy: And can you say, "REDUNDANCY IN LENSES?"

 

[Okiewan]

AHHH!!!! Must be nice to have more $$ than brains eh? I won't even guess what all that cost, but he could have done with about half of it, lol. Just in the 300 & 500 there's what, $16,000 ?
POTN?

 

[Kawidude]

If I remember correctly, the experts estimated he had about $50,000-$60,000 in equipment there. I guess he was into model trains and when he retired he sold it all off and bought camera equipment. Must have been some amazing trains! Seeing all those red "L's" gives me goosebumps!

POTN?

Sorry, I didn't see that the first time. Yep I just discovered POTN about two weeks ago, so I'm trying to absorb as much info as possible. Seems to be a great site with lots of pics posted. Although I'm really enjoying the DRN MotoPhoto section too!

Very nice shot, I'm all about the eyes, they really enhance moto shots.

Very nice shot, Okie.


I better not let Phil see that stack of lenses!!

 

[Philip]

very nice Okie! :cool:
Looks like a competition print to me. On a good mount I would give it a 90.

Forget the moto pic, I gotta get me a cool signature w/ copyright at the bottom of my pics. :)

Bob-Did you by any chance save the shot I took of the RMZ250 in the corner from last summer? I was going thru the pics I had backed up and for whatever reason, I only burned the following week onto a CD (from the other track that RJ owns. Not as good of shots).

 

[biglou]

This is the best I can do for now: ;)

Nice stuff Lou. I'm really digging the Millsaps shot!

 

[Rich Rohrich]

My best, or at least my favorite. Hopefully one day I'll find the 25 year old negative and be able to print a fresh copy of it to scan. :whoa:

That's an awsome shot of Bob!!! I used to pretend I was Hannah on my BMX bike.

 

[Rich Rohrich]

Thanks.

I used to pretend I was Hannah when my bike went into a tank slapper and I ended up on my head. I never quite got the "saved another tank slapper" part down the way the Hurricane did. :)
