Mountain biker

Fantasma Doido has added a photo to the pool:

Mountain biker

After a very tasty breakfast we all went to our rooms to back up our images. It is very satisfying to sift through all the images and pick out the best ones.
There was little time to edit any of the images as it was time for our next session. We met Matt, another very talented athlete. Matt was going to be doing a bit of downhill mountain biking while we learnt the best positions and set up.

It was almost midday when we started and it was difficult to balance the dynamic range. The first skill Lukas taught us was panning. We all set up next to the bend, set our shutter speed to 1/60 and shot. Panning is a very difficult technique. Most of my images were too blurred to upload.

After the panning shot we went to the jump. The woods made it easier to find the best exposure but the images were rather flat. I therefore decided to use some flash to add depth.
