Hello all, this is my first experience shooting anything of this type, so comments and critiques are welcomed! Also, comments on my PP are much appreciated, as I am still very new at Lightroom and PS.

Wow, your first time?

I love pictures #2 and #5. Those colors are amazing!

[Kt56]

Some spots in number 1 are blown out... But, overall I think you did an awesome job!

I like #4 because you can see the intensity in the riders eyes.

Agreed overexposed areas in #1 even 2&3 too but possibly my screen , loved #5 very sharp but a little off center but I like it, well done fantastic job for a first go at fast moving thing's wish I shot that well. What combo were you using?

[PCthug]

Great shots, and better than my first attempt...

Thanks everyone! I agree that the whites are a little on the hot side, but I might have my screen a little dim. I'll try bringing it down a little and seeing what you all think.. I am personally guilty of preferring a brighter pictures, so its a bit of a bias on my part. I'm using a 50d, and shot exclusively with the 70-200 2.8 IS, a fantastic lens. I did much better than I thought I would! Still, we were able to sign a waiver at race control, and were granted full track-access. It also helped to find cool corner-workers that let us hang out literally a stone's throw away. :)

Wow that's so great you are able to get access, that's hard to get sometimes. Agreed that f2.8 is a great lens.....I use the f4 and love it.

Excellent images, 3-4 for me are the best ones but 2-5 are also very good.

[czeglin]

#1 is neat; it looks choreographed
#4 I think is the best, his eyes make the image very intense

[silvrr]

#1 is great timing.

The rest, great panning! You're off to a great start. Way ahead of when I started and I havent done it in awhile so I proably have lost it all.

Very nice!

Really like 1 and 4 even though 4 may be a touch underexposed I love the fact the you can see the intense focus in the riders eyes.

They look nice! #2 has one cool helmet!
