    Having a great time with the lense!

    I have ben traveling a National series doing some race coverage and photos of some quad racing and Im having the time of my life! I coudl only dream to do this for a living!
    I am an enrty level photographer learning and experiencing all I can get out of it with what free time I have. I just want to thank all the people who have taught me so much this year .

    Here is a few shots of the season I have done so far.
    This made a really cool 30x40 poster!

    The first shot doesn't quite have enough face/eye because his head is down, but all the quad is there, and the dirt is great !

    I have a Rebel XT and a 2.8 70-200 lense.
    That 1st shot ,well... actually all of them printed on paper shows there faces pretty well and I never thought of it that way but mud roosts do make a nice background!

    Heres another one in the early morning

    Very nice, that low light gets under the helmet peak.
    Did you crop, or is this from full frame?
