February 15, 201016 yr Nice pictures Russ. What camera do you use?Here are some I took of last weekends Bill Peters Trial from the Stroud Valley Motorcycle Club event. http://picasaweb.google.com/scottanderson6...thFebruary2009# Scott. Great set of photos. I have to admit that we Brits have an evil streak don't we? You get a nice dry day for a Trial so what do they do? Send everybody up a wet stream section, preferably with a boggy middle bit.
February 16, 201016 yr My favorite rider and photo..... Not to mention a near perfect balance of fill flash and ambient light - Pops the face in a fairly dark setting w/o being washed out. ......
March 2, 201016 yr Then tell him you have photo evidence that he is not keeping that inside arm straight and getting the weight out to prevent dabbing!!
March 2, 201016 yr here is a few of mine taken on a longish lens70mm - 300mm hand held so not fantastic but not too bad bikewise bikewise 1 bikewise 2 bikewise 3

March 2, 201016 yr Not to mention a near perfect balance of fill flash and ambient light - Pops the face in a fairly dark setting w/o being washed out. ...... Oh absolutely!!!!
March 8, 201016 yr I'm really jealous of the quality of the pictures in the thread, I just can't get them clear. I've tried auto and the sport settings but that doesn't seem to help. I used two camera's at the Colmore, took 300 shots and had about 15 I could use. I know they are rubbish, I just don't know why. Any adive welcome. Pete
March 8, 201016 yr I know they are rubbish, I just don't know why. Any advice welcome.Pete Trust me I am no expert, but I am learning and asking all in the know having just aqured a digital SLR Dial on top with a big 'S' .....shutter priority ISO 400 or 800 Shutter speed 1/250 or above Speaking to EK at the weekend he reckons 1/500 Practice and more practice Slapshot passed on the initial info so thanks mate and thank god it is digital because I too am still binning loads Edited March 8, 201016 yr by GIZZA5
March 11, 201016 yr Gday Pete Scorpa 3 By the look of things your camera is still selecting a shutter speed that is too slow to capture the action and or you are not panning with the rider thru the viewfinder. For just starting out definately select a higher shutter speed such 250th or 500th. You can easily run lower shutter speeds but if your unfamiliar with your camera and you dont have much experience definately stick with higher shutter speeds initially AND make sure you are following the rider thru the viewfinder or lcd. Other possibilities are camera shake so make sure you are stable and your elbows are into you sides so there is no induced shake. Another is as simple, your cameras could be pieces of sh!t and its autofocus are incapable of a decent pic of a moving subject. And the other key to a great pic is FILL THE F$%#@^& FRAME!!!!! Always ask yourself the key question...What am I taking a picture of? What is the subject?? If its a trials bike then all you want is the bike and rider and the obstacle he's riding over. Nothing Else. I could write a book on this subject but will refrain from doing so at the moment. And did I mention Practice With Your Camera...Know its capabilities...... Hope this helps Cheers Gman Some of my pics are HERE!! Edited March 11, 201016 yr by gasgasman280
March 30, 201016 yr Wouldnt mind learning how to do HLR to try and spice these two pictures up taken of myself. Yes, boots are on order and I'll be getting some proper clothes later on in the month
April 5, 201016 yr Hi I`m new in this forum. Quite active in the GasGas forum though.. I take a lot of trial photos. Most of them can be seen at our clubs web page here: http://trogstadtrial.net/index.php/fotoalbum.html One of the pics I am fond of is this one of H
May 21, 201016 yr I quite like this one I took at the British round at Kinlochleven with Wiggy looking through the back wheel
September 12, 201015 yr One of my favourites Although I have a DSLR I usually only carry my Sigma DP1 with me, which gives SLR quality in a pocketable camera. A fixed 28mm equivalent lens means you have to get close to the action but can give some interesting images; for this shot I was lying on the ground. I use manual focus so there is zero shutter delay.
September 14, 201015 yr Excellent photographs, amazes me to see some of the riders at those angles in the air !!!!
