Racers Guild Downhill MTB race

A couple of my favourite images from the Racers Guild downhill MTB race at Cannock Chase over the weekend. The weather was overcast, which was both a blessing and a curse, I had to really crank up the ISO, but at least there weren't any weird shadows, which can be an issue when shooting in the woods. Fortunately, the new Lightroom denoise was able to help with the effects of high ISO.

I wouldn't usually go for such a tight crop when shooting sports, but I liked how it focuses the attention on the rider

I think the tight crop works well on #2
