Short Track Mountain Bike Race

[JDub]

I went and raced at a local short track mountain bike race last night and when I was done with my race I broke out the camera. I mainly tried panning shots with my Sigma 70-200 lens, but my pans were all crap last night. I think I was using too slow of a shutter and I didn't have my flash with me. After failing on the pans, I shot a handful of shots of the racers near the parking lot just before I left.

I know these shots don't have much action, but I was tired and didn't feel like walking back into the track for the technical sections.

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

great shots and well framed

the only suggestion i can give is maybe try for a smaller DOF next time, that way it could emphasize the distance between the first rider and the ones eating his dust
