ATV jump

Excellent action shot. Pity about the wire in the background.

Well composed, well done. Not a masterwork of art, but a good shot, yes.

Jeffrey,

I like this shot. Nice action. Couple of different ideas to emphasize the action: One, use a long shutter speed (around 1/15 sec) to purposefully blur the riders to emphasize speed; Two, shoot with a long shutter speed and flash set on second curtain synch. This will give you a sharp image with blurred ghosting. (needs to be second curtain synch so the blurs behind not in front.) Three, more wide open aperture to blur background, keep riders sharp; four; long shutter speed and pan with the riders. I think you could have a lot of fun with this scene and various techniques, and with your D1 you have instant feedback.

Good choice of shutter speed. Nice timing. I would suggest croping a little from the right to bring the ATV into the center of the frame and crop a little from the bottom to balance out that crop. Then run it through photoshop to remove the wire. I've done a 5 minute job to give you some idea of what it might look like.

See what you do to get rid of the bar going through peoples head.

Jeffrey, perfect timing!

I would alter this photo but almost everything I shoot is original, unaltered, and true to life. I'd rather leave it original than present it as something it is not. For altered images my see the Photo Illustrations folder.
