Great pics, I think there perfect for a magazine, great lighting, good detail. What were some of your setting's and what lens did you use?

[TristanCardew]

Like them, as always, Alan.

Yay! Olly's taybo!

The air picture of the rider in yellow is the best shot, but it had a clear blue sky it would be "TOPS"
All picture well focused and excellent colour, but the background is not dynamic enough on them.
The only real way to find out is to send them to some of the Magazines and ask for comment's please. Good Luck I hope you do well.

Alan those pics are really good. I definitely think they are magazine worthy. Send them to Decline and even send them to Nicolai and see what they think.

What were they shot with?

By the way those are sick bikes, the riders are really lucky ;)

[namasste]

that gap is HUGE!!!! Definitely as good or better than some of the stuff I've seen in Decline or Dirt.

[Ultra]

Very nice! I am a Mtn Biker also so I really appreciate these.

Mind sharing your setup and settings?

[alpine dreams]

Solid, I really like the berm shots.

[alankey]

Khall: what do you mean by not dynamic enough?

Ultra: yeh why not, 2 flashes at the front aiming at the rider from either side, all 1/200s i think and about f2-5.6.

Vinny a: Camera is a 350d with a 50 f1.8 and a 10-20 sigma with 2 580exIIs and modded V2 trigers

thanks for the comments:)

nice work! did you meter for your exposures or use trial and error? Do you ever get motion blur from the 200th shutter speed?

[leitch]

Quality as always, Alan. Saw these a while ago and liked them, still do.

Got an ETA on the 24-70? :p

[garydogwood]

[robgr85]

Great gallery... just wonder how many of them crashed because of flashlight... ;)

nice work! did you meter for your exposures or use trial and error?

that's a good question!

[alankey]
