    4.5 hours of Mountain Biking yesterday...

    And I got about 100 good shots (in my opinion). But heres one shot I took...and I thought I'd get a little critiquing on.

    It was taken with a Canon XTi with the stock flash (my 430EX hasnt come yet) and a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens.


    What do you guys think?

    Re: 4.5 hours of Mountain Biking yesterday...

    Cool shot! the only thing I would say that I would change is that I would like to see the bottom of the tire. It looks like the rider is airborne but it's a little hard to tell because the bottom of the bike is cut off. I know that's easier said than done. Maybe back off a little from the subject so that you can get a better shot of all of the action going on in the photo. Overall I like this one.
    My kids think I have one big round eye and a light on my head!

    I like the shot but think that the straight on angle limits it somewhat. Maybe if you were lower , looking upward?

    Great idea to shoot shots like this. Fun summertime activity anyways.

    the rear tire not being totally in pic is the only pick I'd have. Like mamajan said its easier said than done.
    Keep Shooting!
