I was looking at Dave Hobby's favorites the other day, a ton of rad shots, but 'most' of the bike ones he has in his favorites are pretty lame AND are not even lit well. I was getting ready to toss the whole folder of pics from fontana last week, but thought I would take one last go round...perhaps he will add this lemon to his bike favorites too! hahaha
I don't even like the shot, but I do think I lit it pretty well....I guess if it really was Steve Peat (hence the name of the file....the guys helmet....get it?) it might be a nice keeper, but since it is johnny nobody, it may go unnoticed.
Sun was mid-day, right above his back, in the dusty haze, not ideal conditions...580ex on a stand-off to camera right and a vivtar right with me (no stand) both fired with pocket wizards that so dusty this day. I am sitting on ground and using my 1d with a 17-40 lens on it...unedited image.
***Check it on large and black BG...tight***
Gee preparing to get rowdy on a trail full of jumps and steeps. Lightweight knee pads to stop him losing skin should he wipe out. (He made it down in one piece).
AMA PRO RACING
So I went out to the Supermoto finals in morongo, Thanks to the AMA. I have never shot so many images in my life, I had a blast and as always learned something new about shooting sports. Met a lot of cool folks and saw a bunch of my friends. Here are a few to look at, more will be popping up elsewhere ;)
