Recent DH In The Woods

downhillnews · 25th of October 2011 (Tue)

These are at either 800 or 1600 ISO the old 1Ds II did okay. Slower shutter than I liked. Typically I try and go from 400-1000 so 200 shutter speeds were somewhat stressful!

These are great

Love that first shot. Well done! 2nd is also very good. Rest are so so.

Is the blur in pic 1 done in post?

tshred · 26th of October 2011 (Wed)

Great shots every one. I also wonder if there was some blur added in post in #1?

THANKS
No guys the blur was in camera. I messed that one up I did not switch to 2nd shutter like I should have and was using around 125th I think. Not sure why it gave that effect but I think I was because lights were close and he was clicking sharp right while in the air and going away from me maybe. I have one in same spot with less blur.

#2 is great, love the look in his eyes! I remember in my days racing downhill with Canondale riders Missy Giove and Meyles Rockwell

and Great series

Well done, Very nice.

Those are all great man. Now you just need some burlier terrain.

Gonna say it again, whoever built that trail in the first shot did such a good job. Nice shots, what does the zerode weigh in at?

With the built kit we have it is 41LBS. The same kit we use on our Legend which weighs 40. So it has about 1=1.5 extra LBS on her. They are using .20 thick walls just to give you an idea the Trek 88 used .12 thick aluminum! So they have a lot of shaving that can be done with it.

( maybe I should save this for RM but whatever..) Bike sounds great, have you ever used a Hammerschmidt? Does the shifting feel similar? Almost wish I went with a Zerode and not the new Shocker..oh well just like cameras (and everything else) money changes plans.
