    Motorcycles and storms

    Heat, humidity, couds and finally storms made taking any shots this weekend difficult at best! The first one is before the storms moved in, the second is what I was contentending with. Here is a few I could salvage, one is a tad blurry but these 2 were flying, if anyone knows of Jamie James, thats him on the inside :thumbsup:

    That first one is a sweet pan shot. And I know who Jamie James is. I remember

    The storm photo is pretty cool. Looks a bit oversharpened. Always look for that halo on the horizon line or other contrasty areas. If you see the halo, you're sharpening too much.

    Thanks John! THe program I use for resizing automatically sharpens it, I dont know how, or if I can, turn the feature off. I hate to ask, but where is the halo, all I see is the rain lol

    I get the feeling of risk-taking from the mix of sky and speed. Very expressive.

    Great shots on the first and second ones. And 3rd and 4th are pretty good considering the terrible lighting. Jamie James; good to see him out there and ripping.
