Nice work. It's good to see someone shooting moto-cross without resorting to ultra high shutter speeds. You've managed to retain a good sense of motion.

First two are with the 28-105 F3.5/4.5, hardly gets a mention but very underrated for the money. A F2.8 would have been handy yesterday as the light was really poor, IIRC these are all at ISO 800 on the 20D.

The last three are with the 100-400, again ISO 800, as far open as it would go for the focal length.

You get more noise in the pictures, luckily the 20D handles it really well.

Great pictures, especially #1 and #2.

What does the 20D do that makes it handle it well?

Does the digital rebel XT do the same thing?

For both questions "I'm not sure". I believe it's something to do with how densely the pixels are packed and their size but couldn't really say. More interested in taking pics than worrying about the tech stuff ;)

I'm a racer and contributor for Kiwirider magazine here in NZ and the shots you've got here really capture the a lot of the speed and intensity of MX. The 2nd and last shots are my favourite. Would like to have seen some of your shots incorporating more than one rider. Keep up the good work. :)
