Some Downhill

Hi all shot some downhill for the first time this morning bit of a difference to the cycling I normally follow. Anyway couldn't use flash as organisers had banned them but here's a few shots any c&c welcome...

Very nice DoF on #2. Sometimes restrictions can be a good thing, forcing you to use your camera in ways you normally wouldn't, therefore teaching you something new.

What...ban on using a flash at a DH race....seriously!

Great shots non-the-less!

Yep no flash, I was hoping to try some slowsync stuff also quite dark in the woods so high enough shutter speeds were tricky. I was pleased with what I got and having to try a different approach made for an interesting day.

Cheers

They look good for no flash allowed! Got more?

#2 is well focussed. Well done.

I too think second one is nicely done.

are you seeing things? they look perfectly fine on my calibrated monitor...

never heard of anyone banning flashes at a dh race. Hope that doesnt become to widespread.

As for pics. 2nd one is my fav.

Here's 2 more, first time able to use flash but only got a couple of shots before the runs finished any c&c welcome.....

I love those panning shots! Really cool

Matt with those last 2, you have the exposure right, shutter speed looks good, the only problem I see is that you have selected an very un-interesting part of the track. (More so the 2nd shot)
