Downhill Lean - Garret Evans

Shutter Speed = 1/320th sec, F-stop = 13, Focal Length = 28mm (18-55mm canon kit lens), ISO = 1600, Handheld

This photo was taken 10-10-10 at Sundance Ski Resort in Sundance, Utah. I had just moved in to my new apartment and I noticed some dirt jumps in the parking lot. Every time I passed them, I thought about how I wanted to find the kids riding them and take some pictures. One day I finally passed by while they were riding. I met Garret Evans, and he said he was down for a shoot, since he needed some for his sponsor, Demon Dirt, anyways. This was my first time photographing Downhill biking, and I am pretty pleased at how they turned out. I will definitely be looking for more opportunities to shoot downhill in the future.

Cam McCaul - superman backflip

Shutter speed = 1/1600th sec, F-stop = 4.5, focal length = 31mm(canon 18-55mm kit lens), ISO 800, Handheld

This is a picture of Cam McCaul throwing a huge superman backflip. I took this photo at the Post Office bike jam in Aptos, California on 4-18-11. Since this is a once a year event that takes place after the Sea Otter Classic downhill competition in Monterey, I feel extremely privileged to have been around to photograph an event so epic. Some of the best freestyle riders in the world come out to a dirt jump park next to the US Post Office in Aptos and throw there best tricks all day long. This is one of many pictures I will eventually post from this day.
