Day 4 from Colorado Springs – Motocross

Here are some images from the 4th and final day of shooting.
More Motocross, trying a few different angles and lighting techniques.

Looking to profile the mud flying up on this one.

Here I tried a really low angle using a slow shutter speed with an off camera light (600 watt profoto). I'm almost underneath him as he's flying by me.

Going a little too fast into the muddy corner. If you look closely you can see his hand hasn't quite hit the ground yet.

Same guy as above on a more successful attempt. I used a slower shutter speed on this one to show motion (1/250th of a sec) and I had a Profoto light I was triggering wirelessly off to the riders right to freeze the rider and make him sharp.

I like the dirt being kicked up on this one by the rider hitting the corner.
