MA this post is really for you, but anyone else that wants to chime in feel free to. My cousin races dirt bikes on occasion and when he does I go up to take pictures of him and others for practice. This thread was inspired by your images and the new member kstrong. The image of the biker riding through the air was nice and wondered how to get that effect. It seems like the flash was used but I thought that might stop the action of the whole shot. Anyways, here are a few of my shots in a similar nature, but would like some advice as to how and to make them better.
During the dirt bike races, I continually moved to get a better shot, but the course was small so I did what I could. Thanks again.
