Thanks for the response. A lot of the photo is the rider, I shoot the local races and when you a slower rider its much harder to get a nice looking shot, they dont lay it over as much in the turns, or their heads are looking in the wrong direction.
Thats why when I get a chance to shoot the pros I take it.
This one is a little dark on his chest because of the shadows, but look how far he has it laid over
this is what I'm aiming for ...the races I do are flat track. Can you tell me the info on these pics? What lens, settings, etc.?
Thanks,
Mandi
PS Any suggestions for me, as our races are at night would be awesome!!!

That's when you tilt your camera

Three solutions, from best to worst:
1) Don't shoot that corner at that time of day, find somewhere else to shoot. Let the sun dictate where you shoot.
2) Use a flash to fill in the shadows
3) Use Photoshop to up the shadows
also, I'm getting ready to buy another body...can't decide Canon or Nikon...can I ask what you use?
Thanks,

I use a D200. The last shot was taken with the very inexpensive 70-300 4-5.6. Its a great lens, because its cheap. I am constantly cursing the lens because there are times when I really need 2.8. I would say look at a faster lens if you could afford. everything is shot in manual. I take light meter readings and then eyeball any adjustments.

Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.
