New CX images (18)

[jorgemonkey]

I think there is 21 pics. I had a very hard time narrowing them down from the top 40 that I have

It was a little cold, a little windy, and at the end it started to rain, so I had a blast. I think I'm getting close or I've already figured out my "style" of cycling images.

Hope ya'll enjoy them!

16. We're following the leader, the leader, the leader, we're following the leader, wherever he may go (Peter Pan)

Fantastic shots as always, Scott. I'm not even going to try to pick a favorite; they're all awesome.

Super Scott!! Were you shooting with the D2h mostly? I still think it is hard to beat if you have the light. Even with the D700 I'm hanging onto mine for daylight sports.

[jorgemonkey]

Thanks!

Yeap, everyone was shot with the D2h, and for that race I think I used the 70-200 for about 95% of the shots. Not sure why, I guess it was just the mood I was in. i spent most of the day in the 200-400 ISO range, and towards the end I was in the 800 in the trees.

I see why you had a hard time choosing. They are all fabulous.

As a fan of cycling I think your photos are awesome.

Wow Scott, these are great. Never shot cycling but looking at these I sure would love to give it a shot. Great job covering this event.

Thanks guys! I was looking back on my recent images (not just cycling) and I realized once I made the decision and realized that I'm going to be somewhat forced into putting my energy into my photo business my image quality went way up.

Good job Scott. The DOF on them is great. Hard to pick a favourite.

Well Done

scott, you have beautiful cycling images and I think they are probably your strongest work and style. The tones, composition, action, and just everything are spot on. Love #2 and the shot of the rear wheel.
