Nice shots Chris. I think I met you this weekend. I was the young kid running around with Joe W. all weekend. I had an XT and 70-200 f/4L. (the high end soccer mom set up.)

Oh my...
Awesome shots!

The face in pic 2 almost looks like you added it later....;)

Man. What where you using?

Nice work.

great panning job... Love the photographs even though I am not fond of racing. Beautiful racing work...

Nice work as always, Chris. The eyes in #2 are great.

I'll get a few of mine up in a bit.

Acab,
Glad to have met you! I'm sure you had a great time covering the races with Joe...he's "good people" as they say and knows his way around the tracks very well. I'd like to see your work, so start a little thread when you have them ready!

Harleypugs,
None of that kind of talk now ...Photoshop shenanigans are not allowed in this studio! As for what I'm using; Canon gear with the 400 2.8 mostly (great lens I must say!)

Photocat,
Your comments mean that much more if you're not even a racing fan!! Thank you for the reply :photo

Harveymushman,
Good to see you again Tim and I'll look forward to seeing your new work!



Thanks for taking the time to respond everyone...I appreciate it very much

thanks for listing the riders names.

for the casual follower it always adds to the picture.

super shots.

Well, I hate to say it, but the colours/saturation are really waaay off here Chris. I have looked on windoze machines and different gammas but things look a bit orf. The Zemke shot is nice, and the most accurate colourwise - but the rest are a little odd looking.

It was nice seeing you btw!

Thanks Andrew...that was rather embarrassing!

I had made some changes to my editing monitor about a week ago and forgot all about it until I checked these out from my office monitors.
A couple other members from a different forum made the same comment and when I saw the colors for myself, I thought "what in the H3LL"
The part that through me off the most was seeing them on a white background in the other forum which made the colors look different yet again!!
I made some adjustments and they should look at least a little better than earlier this evening.

I hate when that happens...

maczippy

Hey no worries..it happens. Much better!

They're all great but I really love the eyes in #2 and the wheelie shot in #4.

1, 2, 4, and 9 really stand out for me. The others are the typical perfectly panned shot with lots of color - maybe I'm getting used to see such great stuff from you, and Andrew, and others. #1 almost looks like an HDR. Love the concentration in #2. #4 is an angle you never see, and #9 is very interesting compositionally. So jealous - only been to the track twice this summer.

F45

Thanx very much guys...I'm glad you enjoyed them and it's always fun to hear which images grab people's attention.

More pixels now available on my website!
