Seeing images like this makes it feel not so good living in Australia! I love the colours in the shot. Beautiful.

My biggest regret with this shot is that I didn't hold the shutter

down, that way I may have actually caught the impact!!! I heard

skidding and just turned around and snapped this shot and another

shortly after. I didn't have time to check the settings and I

really did think I would have had some camera shake in the panic but

I am quite happy with the end result. All the pro's were ducking

for cover so I'm quite certain that no one else got the shot!!!

Latham, thanks for the comment mate. I was there as a spectator and this shot was actually shot through a fence but the wire doesn't show!! I did try to get a pass but the organisers have there own photographers, but that won't stop me trying again next year. As for the colours, I'm not too sure. I only know that when you push provia you really only loose the mid tones, so I spose that is why it has retained it's unreal saturation in the shot.

Only a surfer know the feeling of pulling into a barrel and just looking at this shot brings it all back. Inspiring!! to say the least.

I really like this shot. I was going to say it just isn't sharp but as a smaller image it is much finer. Nice. I reckon it would also look a bit better if the roadway was slightly darker.

 

Now that I've had a go at photographing motor sport for real on a serious level, I really appreciate this shot! Sensational to say the least. I'd be interested to know your camera settings for this shot, I love it!

I've had a lot of positive feedback about this shot from the non

photography minded, and also sold quite a few prints to friends who

seem to love it. I would appreciate any comments etc from those who

don't mind getting behind the camera themselves! Great part of

Australia, the north coast of NSW (about 2 hours south of the border

with Queensland).

Robert, I like your idea with taking two images exposed for the two areas and then combining them in photoshop. I have nothing against photoshop and use it regularly but have never actually considered deliberately shooting with digital alterations in mind. I think this would have made this shot a stand out had I taken the two images! Thanks for the suggestions.

 

Sensational shot. Captured the fundamental bottom hand turn perfectly. I love this shot!!

Great camping spot in our Snowy Mountains, at a place called Island

Bend on the Snowy River, where you can catch heaps of fresh trout and

watch the satellites flying overhead at night the sky is that clear.

I think this shot would have been better with something like Provia.

The sky is also a little bright too, but this made difficult as it

was early morning and I didn't want the foreground underexposed. I

have NOT put this through photoshop either!

Got to love a good lineup shot and this is a classic. Never been to Mexico but this really makes me want pack my boards and camera gear and just head off.

Having tried a bit of ski photography I appreciate this shot. Very well captured.

I knew as as soon as I saw this shot someone would have made mention of the right tyre. Damn shame, so close to being perfect. Apart from that I like it a lot.

Sensational! Talk about capture a moment. Love the colour, framing and everything about this shot!

Love this original perspective.

Dave, This photo is bloody amazing!! I am a surfer/photographer myself and realise just how difficult this shot would have been. I love it!!

I like this effect. I'm with Jacob though, how did you do it? I also think it would have been better without the pants.

Talk about capture the moment. The blurred bikers, the look and the babies face and in black and white. Sensational work.

 

Love the black and white in this shot, really adds something to the city lights! Awesome.

The black and white look is sensational, really adds something with the lights of the city.

Perfect shot, love the framing, colour and effects.

Love the grass in the foreground. I can't fault this shot. Light and colour is really nice.

Love candid shots and this is exactly what it is! No posing and a sensational result. Makes is so different to everyone else's shot of the same subject.

 

Nice, love the effect with the half moon.

REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS. YOU'RE RIGHT DEJAN IT IS CANDID, BUT I LIKE JEN'S IDEA WITH THE 3RD SURFER.
