Wow, love them!

Hi Stanokella,

Some nice shots there, some of the riders are a little dark and you could easily fix them with the 'dodge' tool in Photoshop. I have done a few MotoX events myself, and know what it is like trying to get some action shots.

You have some nice shots there, I wouldn't worry about the sky, its not completely white, so looks good.

My favorite is number 24, good jump, nice height, good angle and nice composition. The exposure and colours are nice and natural. The rider really looks like he is going for it.

Hope you had a great day

Nice one,
Alan.

Thanks for the comments, Wild walker must be a monitor thing because they aren't dark on my monitor.

Could be, perhaps check your monitor calibration as well? Be a shame to get them printed to find out they are all too dark (done that before myself )

Alan.

My monitor is calibrated, and the last set of prints I did looked the same as they did on my monitor and that was yesterday

great action shots ste !

Great shots Ste - number 15 (biker 45) is my fave, you can see the concentration in his eyes!

Thats good, monitor calibration is a pain in the backside, and to be honest I don't know why all monitor don't auto calibrate now adays, no reason why that cant be built in.

Glad the prints looked good. I love MotoX shots, all the colours, the logos, the bikes, great topic to shoot

Alan.
