Here are some I got. I edited them at home on my 4 year old Mac. Not sure how the colors look? Any thought?

Cool variety of shots. I won't comment on the colors since I'm viewing on a laptop.

My son was there racing. Not sure what all classes he raced. Were you only shooting the DH? Will you have any galleries?


Canon 20D w/grip, 300D, Powershot SX100 w/HF-DC1 flash, Canon 70-200 f/2.8L, 85 f/1.8, 17-55 f/2.8 IS, 50 f/1.8, 580EX and some other stuff...

I can't comment on colours, because I'm pretty hopeless with that, and I have a cheap uncalibrated monitor..

A few of the shots look a bit too centred, but you captured some good action. In 5, did he hold on, or eat it? Either way he looks like he's in a spot of trouble, it's awesome!

Good action shots.
Colours look ok. I think I´ve seen more saturated pics from you before.
Ever tempted to underexpose the ambiend and use crazy amount of flash power to lit the rider? The sky would look wicked that way :D

No Anthony came out of that one cranking hard on the pedals! I'm at work now they look OK maybe a little dark.

Last shot looks great. Did you blur the tire in post? It looks good but it should be sharper at 1/640 or he is just going crazy fast

#3 is my favorite. Looks like it belongs in a magazine.

No it came out of camera that way. He was going fast between trees the camera had 100's of a second to lock focu as he went by pretty fast. It may not have locked it 100%!
