Manx Down Hill MTB.

Here are some images from an event over on the Isle of Man today. First time I have been to a DH event, and crikey they don't half fly! :nuts:

It was difficult to shoot the jump shots, mainly due to the fact I was facing right into the midday sun. The lens flare is natural, but I personally don't think it detracts too much.

The last few were shot were taken using a slow shutter (1/125) and the SB600.

Any comments appreciated.

Great work, really liking the colour and exposure here.

Good shots and you done well shooting into the sun,
Last shot is the best for me

Cheers for the comments guys.

The last shot made it into print in the papers this week over here.

Very good

My only constructive point would be that the clouds & banner are a little blown in a few.

Those front-on airborne shots are great. Love the little wisps of dust from where they launched - adds to the shots amazingly.
