On the way home last night saw a sign for Moto X at Firebird Intl Raceway. Had my camera so I thought I would check it out. With some of my persuasion skills I got myself a yellow flag and was allowed out on the track area for an hour.

First time ever shooting something like this- let me know what you think.

C&C appreciated- I am heading back over there Sunday am.

    Apparentally I missed the class on gettin a nice silo, havent really done much, sunsets and beautiful skies seem hard to come since I got my camera, that, or the nice ones are out when the camera is at home. Whats some settings, and tips to try.....??

    wings.gif Woo WHoo after 84 views someone actually made a post. :D

    No secret to a silohuette really. Just expose for the sunset rather than the action or subject.deal.gif This was F9 1/500.

    Any other thoughts out there??

    That last sunset shot is awesome! I like how you can see the dirt flying off the bike as well. Great job!

    After seeing these shots, I can't wait to get my bike out and ride again...

    Thanks for the comments.

    I need to get my son back on his toys and get some action shots of him.

    I like #4. The rest of them just don't do anything for me.

    i think you have some great shots here. i have tried to shoot similar events and had no luck. i really dig the rider on #14. it looks like a little kid on a 50 or 90cc bike. great job.

    Thank you- much appreciated.

    That kid was about 13 on a 110cc that according to the dad had "a little work done" That kid and bike were really fast- passing grown men on bigger bikes during the warm up session.eek7.gif

    Hey Aaron,

    Awesome series. Great stop-action photography, and you nailed your pans perfectly. thumb.gif Love the sunset jump shot too. I'll bet the rider would like a print of that.
