About the Image(s)
Title: Step Up
I don't usually like shooting on this downwards angle, but at this particular place, it worked well with the mountain in the background, creating a true black background to contrast with the flashlights.
Camera and Lens: Canon 1dx and 24-105 at 60mm
The settings are 1/2500, f5.0, ISO 800.

Andre, it is obvious that you like environmental sport images, whereby the subject represents only a minimal aspect of the frame, well illuminated and involved in a difficult stunt. The image is sharp. Nice contrast of the bicker with the very dark background, and of course, you have total "control" of a very difficult set up to illuminate. Posted: 05/06/2025 21:38:51
Andre, I agree with Isaac, and your technique of showing the environment really shows the difficulty and danger the rider faces, amazing. Bruce Posted: 05/12/2025 15:10:01
