silly bikes

I went out with some friends to do some riding and brought the cam. :biggrin5:

not sure i like the off-center crops in 1 and 3...or the cloud in 3 it would look much better with just a blue sky

To me the crop is #1 is the wrong side.

I feel he ought to me moving into the picture from the right, not out of the left side.
NOTHING wrong with off-centre crops

I think he's a bit too soft from the movement though.
Great scenery, but you need to have something sharp on the bike, front wheel and his face are both looking blurred.
I have new glasses on order ($600 or so) so that may help


#2 I think is too central, it looks like my photos
Did you use the centre focus point?
You have the panning OK here, better than #1
How about a crop though?
As I scrolled the page down I thought it looked good as a wide panoramic shot, taking about 1/3 the sky off the top and so concentrating a little more on the ground he's trying to hard to avoid ...
Try about the same sky above his helmet as there is mountain at the bottom of the picture, it feels balanced that way. See how you like it with various crops.

In #3 I like the airplane and the contrail, I just wish the plane was a little bigger.
I don't like where the contrail is though.
I have a vision of a re-shoot of this so that as he's jumping it looks like he's riding through the sky on the contrail.
