    Weekly Velodrome series

    Got another chance to head out there, turns out the last Wed was the last Wed night race of the year. Works well for me because I'm gonna be having classes Wed nights anyway. I've still got Thurs night races to shoot though, so I'll still be able to get my fix.
    I'm planning on bringing out the PocketWizards soon so I can get rid of the oncamera flash shadows. What I really like about going out so often and knowing I'll be posting some there, its making me try to find new angles/places to shoot from, since there is a limited amount of places.

    1. Some manual flash/camera


    2. Gettin ready for their race. I can't wait for the sun to go down since currently if I try to shoot the start, I've got some horrible backlighting so I have to wait until later in the evening


    3. More slow shutter speeds & flash


    4. I'm also still working on the rider closeups


    5. A little panning


    6. One of my favorites from the night

    I'd say being on the inside helped a bunch, it was probably easier on you as well. It's good your playing with the different settings to see how they work out, overall these are very good
