I always like to get feedback and hear what people think could be improved, so please fire away! There's not all that much variety, as most of Danbury wasn't ridable really, but that'll be different next time round!

Nice set there mate, shame the sky blew out on the first but all great action shots. what set up were you using?

I know, I can't decide if I like the first one or not, whenever I shoot into the sun the results are always pretty unpredictable!

All were on a Canon 7D and Sigma 10-20, some with a bit of flash to lift the shadows.

Awesome stuff, really need to work on my positioning, front wheel down first really isnt the way to go.

I was just giving chris's neck a rest, he couldnt aim too high on every shot.

at least the forks look good.

Chris, are all those photos straight from the camera or have you played about with them on ps?

Glad you guys like them!

There was a little photoshopping, nothing major though. A few of them needed straightening (I was holding the camera at all sorts of silly angles as it turned out) and the ones shooting into the sun needed the contrast sorting out, but that's about it really.

Those pictures are bloody Stunning!
Dude, it looks amazing that high up, sideways, and obviously travelling at speed to get the height.
Bravo!!!

Yeah, I was putting quite a lot of faith in Matt and Kev, felt the wind in my hair on a few occasions :shock:

Thanks for the kind words guys! :thumbup:

I think you have some good shots but I feel a little more post editing would make them great. I had a play with the first one to make it feel a little warmer trying to get the light to work better with a little more contrast and bring out the blue on Matt's bike. Don't know if you like it but I feel it pops a little more but then all art is subjective :thumbup:
