    The shallow DOF in the last three really works. I particularly like what it does for this one:

    I've been trying to get that spin/focus technique down forever. Nicely done!

    The expression on #4's face is perfect! Such determination!

    How'd you set up #5?

    Wow thanks again guys.
    How'd you set up #5?
    ND filter to lower the shutter to 125s and still keep a pretty wide aperture. Held the camera in the gutter and pointed slightly up. I should have taken more as I never did achieve what I was after and we don't get those kind of skies in So. California often. I was trying to lower the ambient enough to get zero ghosting but as you can see there is some there. Another one from that day.

    iloveyou.gif #5 and #6.

    And thanks for the details for #5!!

    Did you do anything special to process #1 or did you just play with the contrast and saturation? It has a teeny bit of that Dave Hill look (just a itty bit)

    Increased clarity and contrast and reduced vibrance in Lightroom.

    Very nice work. Excellent photography and artistic expression.

    I really appreciate how good these are since I shot my first bike race this morning...
