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.

Superbike Lean

Shutter Speed = 1/1600th sec, F-stop = 13, Focal Length = 300mm (sigma 70-300mm telephoto), ISO = 1600, Handheld

This was taken 5-15-10 during the superbike races at Infineon Raceway (formerly Sears Point Raceway) in Sonoma, CA. It is of an unknown rider in a deep left lean coming out of an S turn. There really isnt that much to say about this picture. Its not some amazing photo or anything, I just like how sharp the rider is, the slight motion blur on the pavement, and how much the color pops from his bike and his leathers.
