Sick photo! Got any photos where both riders are fully visible?

flag naturalhigh (Aug 2, 2009 at 22:07)
That's the only issue I had with this photo. I was planning it to have both of them visible but the trail is a little too narrow.

What camera settings were you using? Like the ISO and shutter speed!?
  • + 1
flag naturalhigh (Aug 5, 2009 at 22:45)
I always shoot in the manual mode. I like ISO 800 and a 640 shutter.

flag j-brantley (Aug 5, 2009 at 22:52)
Nice for 800 ISO!
Standard lens? What aperture?

75-300mm, f/5.0

Thats a very clear shot! I love your style! Great composition. The only thing in this shot is the second rider needs to be more visible.

Is this part of a sequence? Do you use AF?

flag naturalhigh (Aug 5, 2009 at 23:00)
Thanks! Yeah that's what was bugging me. The line was really hard to get both riders in the shot. It was just a single shot. I use AF, my lens is fast enough so it's all good.

Genuine question-why wear full face and neck brace but no gloves? I find no gloves tears up the grips faster, isn't as good in the wet, and hurts a whole lot more when you fall off!

flag naturalhigh (Aug 10, 2009 at 18:43)
It is true they aren't very good in the wet. For some people it's more comfortable and gives a feeling of more control. I guess he's not very concerned about cutting up his hands a little.
