KARDY

#2 is my fave. It has nice vivid colors and has a race feel with the crowds in the background. #1 is cool too but it needs a bit more color. The white bike is too bland

+1 on #2

Ok here is another Hoppen shot. I just wanted to get people's thoughts on who they considered the best on the planet.

for reference, it is against forum rules to post images that you did not take yourself. if you are displaying other people's work, please use links.

I would say that Adam Campbell is up there with the best MX photographers. I love the way Adam shoots actions shots using strobes. He has this tecnique dialed.

Plons baby!! He is the man!

www.mxworld.eu or those who can understand him in his native tongue www.mxworld.be

Plons used to cover the European FIM championship. His paddockfiles as well as racefiles are true heaven on the eyes! he captures brilliant shots!

Just to clarify I was using their images off their sites so they were linked? But I now have LINKS if that makes any difference to either of them.

Kardys look good, you should definatly check out http://www.cudbyphoto.​com/

I think he is the best MX photographer out there for motocross.

yea, i think you're supposed to just post links regardless of where it's hosted. i didn't mean to be a rule-stickler as i'm not a moderator, but i just wanted to give you a friendly heads up since i'm sure a mod would have done it for you if you hadn't done so yourself. i've just seen it happen a lot where posts are edited from pictures to links and a minor verbal slap on the wrists from the administrating staff here.

anyways, back on topic!

For sure his stuff is tough to beat. Very impressive. Like Adam he also is killer with strobes.

Simon Cudby or Mr.Hoppen the others arent even close.

There are some nice images that are great. Like these

Most of his bike shots have frozen wheels...no bueno.

I think frozen tires kind of depends of how you are trying to capture the image, motion in the tires does show movement but with the knobbies, It often just looks bad IMHO. I think when shooting at a Sandy Track, its a matter of panning, and fast shutter speeds because its enteresting to see sand at slow shutter all over the place and like the ocean in a way but also cool to see it by every grain hanging in the air.
