Hi,

I am a sucker for sports photography - and these a great shots. I particularly like your timing on the first 3 shots - focus and depth of field also compliment these images.

I'm very curious about what lens you were using and what your exif data for the shots are.

Cheers,
Craig

Hi Alex. well done mate as usual, looks like they had some good lighting which is always a problem here. Lighting is most important and some events like this use fantastic lighting which is sometning we dont always get here. The shots are all great mate, you have done your usuall good job.

fantastic shots! love to see the EXIF to get some idea as to how you've captured these.

Some interesting points of view too as I cant recall having seen motocross shot from above before and the results are wicked :D

thanks all :)

For the exif, most of my pictures was take at 800 isos, +0.3 or 0.3 il, 1/320 at F2.8 with the 300mm AFS II F2.8.

For the freestyle pictures, the shutter speed was the same but the isos was at 1000 or 1250.
