Morning folks
Another shot from the Motocross Grand Prix of Great Britain. This is Molson Kawasaki rider Stephen Sword during the first afternoon practice. Shot with a slowish shutter speed and fill flash to (hopefully) convey a sense of movement.
I know these kind of shots aren't popular on TL but these are the ones I'm most proud of

Pez

Bonjour Pez
Pas facile ce genre de photos n'est ce pas ? Un bon filet de suivi du pilote, un regard vers le photographe qui donne encore plus de qualité à la photo, juste un très très léger détail (je connais aussi avec mes photos de cross) le léger flou par manque de vitesse à la prise de vue, 1/125s c'est un peu faible quand même pour ce genre de reportage.

Hiya
I like the colours of the bike. Like the way the riders "smiling" for the camera lol.
I'm sure you put these blurry b/grounds on when you know I've had a drink the night before!!!
You say these shots are not popular on TL. Surely a photographer posts photos that they are proud of and if you enjoy these then keep posting.
There are some people that like them.

Hi Pez,

Another nice Panning shot. The colors in this shot is better. Also the rider is looking at you.
good idea about fill flash.

TFS!

Hey Pez,

I am a fan of action shots and really like how you have managed to freeze frame the rider while having a blurred BG. Impressive! good colours also.
