Bike stunts (BMX)
Some pictures I took in my neighbourhood
Pic 1.  This photo was taken with my school's D70s and 50mm F1.4. I was really new to DSLR then and didn't really know what I was doing. And yes, I know it's noisy, it's a D70s at ISO 1600.. Using built in flash Pic 2.  Group shot. The guy doing air is pro and the rest of them were very sporting. In retrospect, I should have used fill flash since I owned a SB800 by this time. but i was still struggling with my D300 and tamron 17-50. The AF of this combi can be piglike Pic 3.  A different angle from the previous shot. Not as nice, imho, but I kinda like the composition. Lamp growing out of boy in white tee noted! Pic 4.  I just like this shot. I wish i'd gone closer, this is a crop because of someone's head at the bottom of the frame. But my lens was more than 50cm away, i think. HDR-like effect is unintentional. the contrast was a bit too high so i tried to boost the shadows and recover highlights in camera raw. the skin colour not very good  . focus point was left to the camera to decide, and of course, it will focus on something irrelevant, such as the spokes of the front wheel I have loads more pix but see how u guys receive my pix. CRITICISM is MOST WELCOME. compliments are nice but won't help me improve. but please try to be constructive *** edited to include picture numbers Last edited by boyboy; 9th January 2009 at 07:40 AM.

Re: Bike stunts (BMX)
thanx.. they were from separate shoots actually. i'd post more photos but for the fact that i didn't enjoy scrolling thru threads with more than 5 photos, particularly photos which are half past 6
the first pic was shot on a night i couldn't sleep. i saw the bikers in action and went downstairs with the camera. i'm only posting these pix cos i didn't manage to sleep last nite. damn insomnia  pardon my ramblings

Re: Bike stunts (BMX)
yeah, i ride. XC and road nia . after dislocating an elbow at kent ridge (stupid me), i really cut back on riding and never really rediscovered my mojo need to get more saddle time, and i'd really like to be able to pack my cameras safely for cycling. then i can enjoy both hobbies at the same time
