Theres quite a few crackers there.

I think the 5th is showing the control skill level involved, the B&W is different, and the last has awsome feel.

But i cant help but feel a smaller DOF would have help on a few of these to obscure the backgrounds and help bring the bikes out a tad more, 6 and 8 for example

If you'd seen where the guy in #5 ended up half a second later, I'd have taken a shot but it was right where I was standing :lol:

Fair point about DOF. Only problem is with the light being as good as it was that day the shutter speed would have been into the 1/1000-2000 range which is a bit quicker than I like.

Number fours my fave, cept for that pole bit ...love it otherwise. ..so much better in B&w I imagine.

Great set. :thumbs:

Agree on the shutter speed side of things, hence why i often use a poloriser in bright light or a nd2 filter.

I reckon this is the best set you've posted Dod, very good action in all the 'adult' quad shots - but the B&W overhead shot (#4) is in a different league to everything else you've every posted (that I've seen anyway;) ) - superb :thumbs:

p.s. as FB said- get rid of the pole at the bottom to make it perfect :clap:

The last shot is a belter dod.. You certainly grabbed this shot showing all the speed these guy's get up to with a low shutter speed..:)

And for one here that doesn't usually like black n white that shot gets my approval for what its worth..:D

The black and white shot stands out for me but have to agree about cloning out the post.

P.S. The rest are great as well

Thanks for the comments, a bit surprised at the reaction to #4, I just thought it was slightly different with that viewpoint so included it. My favourite in there is #6 by a mile, ah well, takes all sorts :lol:
