Lunatyk's pictures inspired me to throw up a few of mine from Bike Radar although I think he may have done a better job, lol! It was pretty tough getting a decent shot during the slalom finals at night. What with the crappy floodlights and hoping both riders would be in range of my flashes at the same time, I think there was more luck than good judgement involved, haha.

bike gaydar,,, buheheheheh

nah, serious now...
overall is really good,,,
your shots just need more contrast...
do you work in ps or you do not like to tweak shots?

i really enjoy superb timing on second from the bottom - backflip tailwhip - infuckinsane trick! great catch!

Lunatyk: My PS work normally involves exposure and curves adjustments in ACR and then some sharpening with unsharp mask, and that's pretty much it. I don't like to go too contrasty as I want to keep as much shadow detail as I can, although your stuff always looks good. What kinda stuff do you usually do?  

Roo: My trusty old D70s. Gotta love that sync speed when the sun's out! Very Happy

Some really nice shots there dude! The one of Gee also jumps out at me, and I also like the second shot, it's just so different.

Quite like shot 5 too, it's got quite a nice atmosphere to it. Love the framing of the Greg Minnaar photo, just find that digger/van in the background slightly distracting!

Good work buddy!
