p.1 #1 · Motorcycle Roadracing - Beautiful Bikes at High Speeds


Went back down to Miller Motorsports Park in Utah this weekend for round two of the Masters of the Mountains racing series. Warm and very windy, which made keeping the big lens steady quite challenging!

#1 & #2 are my favorite - all are great - love the mountains in the background.
Will you be at Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI - June 1 & 2?
Would be nice to see you there.

Thanks very much! I wish I could be at Road America, but I told my son I'd shoot his water polo tournament that weekend (which will also be fun!).

Very nice set, #6 is my favorite angle from Miller, as well as scenes like #9 that include the mountains.

I appreciate the variety you offered in the set. Great pans, wonderful landscapes, great eyes behind the visors, really cool shots of the checkered flag and finish line too. You got it all.

Thanks very much. I try to give the racers a variety of angles to choose from. Thankfully I had a scooter to zip around constantly during races to get a bunch of different perspectives.

Nice set! I'm really digging 1, 3, 4, & 5! Which lens did you use for these?

#1, 4 - The slight motion blur to the background really gives it a nice sense of speed!

#3 - Just looks cool!

#5 - Same as above, but the amount of lean is just crazy! Maybe it's the angle? Still impressive!

#15 - Same corner as #1? Another cool shot!

#17 - I like the sky, but the rider and bike looks a little under exposed on my screen.

Thanks very much, guys!

I used a variety of lenses for these, including the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II, and Sigma 35 f/1.4. Most of them were shot with a lens I rented for the weekend - the 300 f/2.8 IS II, sometimes with a 1.4x TC or 2x TC. WOW what a lens. A couple of years back I owned a 300 f/2.8 and 600 f/4, both of which were incredible lenses. But this one was even better. I can't see any reason why I'd own a 600 f/4 anymore after using the 300 IS II with a 2x TC on it. Smaller, lighter, easy to hand hold, and producing outstanding quality images.

I never needed a monopod through the weekend, all hand held.
