1st go at Moto cross today with the K5..Im still going threw the 475 pics,
But overall a much sharper/color AF was quik, I used Vibrant mode, Not sure if i should of used Natural72991

i think this is an awesome shot!
It's sharp where it needs to be - the upper body....
I quite like the lighting in this too!
How would it look like if you used the Natural mode???

hey just looking at this last shot you posted... it would be awesome if you did some panning?
Although i hardly shoot sports so i wouldn't really know... but from preference point of view, i think some panning might work.
the bike rider looks abit blurred like there was some motion shake captured?
Do correct me if i'm wrong?
but loving the colours!

85 % of me motocross pics Are panned...??

[smallfooties]

oh sorry... so is the last one panned? Or panned enough?
It looks like it just has a shallow DOF to me...
To me, panning gives the viewer a feeling of the car or in this case the motorbike and rider moving...
But then again i could be wrong...
:o
Perhaps you can educate me on what panning really is?
Thanks kindly.
