    Re: Downhill MTB Testing Again

    I like the one with the flash coming through the front wheel. That's a nice effect. The whip is also fun. However, I kinda feel like this trail is overworked for you. I'd like to either see photos from another location or see you really mix things up for a completely different kind of photo on this trail. I know I get in ruts sometimes and I need to figure out a way to see things differently. Maybe you're happy with these but I feel a little like I'm looking at the same photos over and over again. Sorry... *sheepish*

    Getting better. I like the flash through the wheel too.

    The one thing that I can say would improve these shots for me is the angle. I can tell you are standing for all of these. You have knee pads on, get on your knees or sit. The lower you get the more huge the obstacle looks. And it makes the terrain look steeper. All making for a picture that captures the steepness or bigness of something. The higher you get the flatter something will look. Try it you will see what I mean.

    Yeah I am fried out on that trail. Shot another today. Will post.

    I do not have a real good eye for perspective so for sure need to work on it.

    THANKS guys
