    Another DH Jump - kinda artsy

    Here's another angle and sort of artsy shot from the same gap jump I posted before. C&C always welcome.

    Can't critique this as I've never shot bike races. I do have to say I love this shot!
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Thanks. This was from a shoot for his sponsor rather than a race. This was just kind of an artsy pic that came from it. It's actually just the opposite side of the other DH Jump pic I posted. Okay, a little more than the angle is changed but it's fairly similar.

    I actually like this one better. My on C&C (yeah right, like I am ble to C&C you) is if you could have not blurred the jump. May favorite part of your 1st shot, was how the scene was blurred, except for the jump.

    That's a good catch. I'm guessing that in the first shot the jump wasn't getting much ambient light and so it was mainly lit by the flash. You can actually see the same thing in this one. Only the right side of the jump is blurred, the left side isn't blurred. I can't wait until I get all my flash goodies to start playing with shots like this.
