Motorcycle shots from today

[BBJ]

Hi All well here is some shots from today, using the 300mwith the 2xtc so 600m f5.6 so all 4 shots with this combo,last shot with the sigma 70-200.





No pp just converted from Raw to jpg, i can say i am impressed with the pics at 600m, of over the border into Victoria for a Grasstrack motoX tomorrow.

Very nice work. You crop tight. You shoot sharp.

Great shots. Are these framed like this out of the camera, or has here been a little cropping ? Just wondering..

I love it when you can see the riders eyes - you can sense the rider thinking 'I'm going there 'cause I'm looking there'

Cheers

Hi Matt and Justin, these are not crops, these are straight from the camera no pp work no sharpning no nothing just converted to jpg and resized for web, thats it.

Hi John
Great shots as usual, although you say no pp do you have a custom curve installed or a custom setting in camera. Your colors are so vivid.

No Jeff, i have never used curves in my camera, to scared to try and load them.LOL but yeh did even open PS.

I dont play with picture much now unless i really want to as i take so many and would here all nite as it is i am just uploading 300 pics to my website but picked a few out to share, i could play with some a bit later but maybe i am getting lazy that unless i get an order i dont waste too much time on them unless i get bored.

Stunning work as always! I love looking at your pictures.

That new lens and TC work well for you thats forsure.

If id had to pick a stand out in that lot it would be number 3 for me.

Great stuff.

Thanks Jamie, he wasn't giving me the evil eye then. He is a dirt tracker but dad races on the bituemen so he got spare set of wheels and having a go on ride days, maybe it coul dbe a bit safer as last sunday at MotoX we had a death, sad but happens and is not often thank god so maybe the bituemen is a bit safer.

Wow John, these are spectacular!! I've got to get me one of these lenses. Bloody awesome, mate!
I'm getting really excited for the MotoGP now. You are going to get some amazing shots there with your lens and to have them come straight out of the camera looking like that is just too much!
Can't wait to see your shots from the MotoX tomorrow!
I eagerly await.
Cheers, Jase.

[BBJ]

Thanks Jase, i thought they were good considering using the 2xtc, but yeh tomorrow i might try just at the 300m without tc and see how it goes.
Ok im stuffed off to bed cya laters and i will post some shots, it is over the border near Portland so bit of travelling.
Cheers

Have a great day, John!

I like the first and third pic a lot because it shows the concentration these guys put in around the track.

[KerryPierce]

Excellent shots, as usual, John. I really like the lower, ground level perspective you've been using lately.

[BBJ]

Thanks Kerry, yes they make a good shot, i am hoping that next weekend it is nice and sunny instead of overcast, not that i mind sometimes as i have 3 days of this next weekend. Master of Mac Park is on so Friday practice hard core racing sat and sun.
Just having a coffee before my drive to a grasstrack motox this morning.
