A few of the action on Saturday. Ryan Villopoto, Mike Alessi, Andrew Short, Chad Reed, and Josh Grant were the front runners. Alessi was on the gas but couldn't hold off Villopoto. Villopoto won both motos.

Nice shots there, Lee. I really like the first and the last one. In the last one you even managed to get some motion blur out of the tires. I take it you slowed your shutter speed down a bunch from the usual 1000+ right? :beercheers:

Nope, the race announcers said the fastest were doing 75 there, the fastest part of the track. And when the wheels are that close zoomed and spinning fast it will blur, zoom out and no blur. o vs O, a point on O covers more pixels than o at the same shutter speed. If this makes any sense :idea::beerpint:

If you liked the 1st one, this one is the same jump. Check out Trey Canard, #39, scrubbing and his back tire is still on the ground. :beerpint:

yes it makes sence, but I am gonna call you a liar. :beercheers: I opened your pic in PS and looked at the data. You took it at 640 shutter speed. :lol::beerpint: Still a pretty fast shutter though and I understand about the zoomed in thing. :grin:

640? :lol: Ha ha, I set the camera up during the womens 1st moto (1pm) and 1000 gave me the Av above 5.6f and from there on I watch the Av and spin the wheel by the shutter release to keep it at or above 5.6f so the DOF doesn't get too shallow, bet that pic is late afternoon ... Ha, it is :idea: check the 1st pics, 1/1000 and at least 5.6f. Didn't realize that late afternoon sun dropped the exp so much. I didn't need 1/1000 as where I planted my a$$ there wasn't any real panning. Pete the photographer :pics: Mr. PIC-ala-PETE :thumb:

This pic is at 1/1000 (dang you Pete, now I'll be checking everything :grin: :porn: ) :idea:
