    Re: Close call (Superbike)

    Another excellent shot. Was this one cropped any? Just wondered because my only critique would be that all of the bike be in the picture with maybe a little free space out in fornt. Other than that very, very good job. Not sure what to tell you about the magazines, but I don't think you would have much trouble with this kind of quality image.

    I like this one as well as the 'Pirelli' and moment of high torque shot.

    At first glance I wasn't sure that the back of the bike being cut off was good, but it works. Motion shots with the frame cutting the subject will sometimes work and this one with the tight framing does.

    Good color and selective focus.

    I prefer this one over your other bike shot. It's very good technically and it looks great. I also like the tilt angle of the bike and the framing is also well done.

    Perfect shots. What are you using, also what are your setting? I am a starting out autosports shooter in FLA i can use all the free tips i can gather.

    BTW i love both of your shots, great wheels spin, perfect pan on the bike.

    Jakob,

    Good shot, though I agree with the composition comment. Of course, I'm sure at the speed of these bikes moving, getting a nice tight zoom and breathing room is tough. Great shot though.Nice colors,

    Hi!

    I am using 1D Mk II, 300mm F/2.8 + 1.4x teleconverter (But you need a 500mm or 600mm, to get really close)

    It is not so much the setting you need to get a hold on, but a steady hand. Then you can work on the shutterspeed. ;0) later on. It is also abut catching the object in the viewfinder, you have useally about 2-3 sec for framing, and 1-2 sec for taking the picture.

    Great shot, the back being cropped works unless you are missing the fire come out of the tailpipes.
