Re: Red Bull Down Yauco Pics

Did you have to wash the tire tracks off of your forehead after that shoot? Great shots. Way to get right into the action.

Re: Red Bull Down Yauco Pics

Had no tire tracks on my forehead or any close calls, another photographer did ;)

One of my tutors told me that to get the right pic you have to do whatever it takes, that stuck on my mind.

Great images, and congrats on the featured

Were you lying down on the shot under the rider, or did you use a remote camera?

Re: Red Bull Down Yauco Pics

All of these are great shots, BUT #2 is AWSOME. I know nothing of the biking stuff, but the pics are great.

Nice Job...

Re: Red Bull Down Yauco Pics

OK, well it's like this....

SmartWombat didn't pick this weeks POTW, I did, but I think he would agree this IS the POTW..... nice job! I think what made this though was the rider looking back at the viewer. Of course the tire spin helps too. Your lucky to have had a cloudy day or it may not have worked so well.

However! no matter what your tutor says, think safety first! We don't want any photogs with tire tracks or injuries or worse.

Nice job DirtDevil..... just be safe!

Lying down, a remote is on the wish list.

I just scrolled trough the forum, having got internet in the hotel this weekend, and waiting (at 23:26) for Lightroom to load today's images ... this image poked me in the eyes and said PICK ME.
