First time doing motocross, thoughts?

Very nice shots

great set of shots

Good job.. Is that in Cali ? Hesperia maybe?

Thanks guys Much appreciated.

Squashed, its in UT haha.

Are you shooting raw or jpeg, it might be worth (if not!) shooting raw, also, they look slightly over exposed. As you look like you have an abundance of light, how about trying to use a circular poloriser, I find that they tame the image down and make the colours deeper and darker and in my opinion, improve the picture quality.

If you're loosing quality with the image hosting company, try resizing your photos to 800 or 1024 across so that the images aren't compressed by said hosting company! Your photos look like they have lots of artifacts!

Good set though!

Agree with all that Carl.

Great job for your first time around. I have shot much moto in my time (no pro here) and admired many of the pros for a long time.

Its difficult to pick your timing but the sunlight is harsh in the pics, see if you can get them earlier or later for better colors.
You can slow you shutter speed down some (don't know where you are currently) and pan more for some movement in the wheels for a more speed effect.

Thanks for the tips guys. Tomorrow Im going to the same track for a race in the morning and I plan on taking a lot of shots.

Ill take my 55-250 and CPL so I can get a wider range of shots.

I totally forgot to do some panning shots, Ill have to try some.

Thanks again. I hope to get better!

Hi Clamber,

Nice set of shots there although the harsh light has made them seem a little "flat" I really hope you don't mind but I had a 20 second play with one of your pictures to try and give it a little boost.

Yeah exposure is a tad off on a couple of them. But that's sort of how an outdoor shoot goes, the fill light in PS would do good things. First MX shoot?! You gotta be kidding me. Any of the roost shots could be in MX Action mag! - Great work.
