I was shooting a Cross Country Motorcycle race this weekend, I've been working on getting tighter and trying to capture the determination of the racers. Of course the part that makes it difficult is that they are racing so they are going as fast as they can, and the format of these races means that you have one shot at them. They will race for miles across the desert but they only pass any spot once. I'm amazed how well our modern cameras work, these shots were taken at speeds between 15 and 50 MPH and somehow the autofocus keeps up with them.

Very nice!!! Try raising your black point at least 10 pts and see if you like the results. You might have to redo you high pt.

Thanks for the advice, how do you like these.

It really helped the blue biker with the red helmet others must have been close. Good job. I just feel digital photography is basically flat and needs to have more punch by raising the black pt. That is my first step in adjusting the raw files before jpg.
