Damn it. The edges of the pics are cut off. Here's a link to the pics in the full form. http://alcapone.pinkbike.com/album/Duthie/

those are pretty good, seems like a sick place. Next time try using a faster shutter speed to capture the motion better, it will make the rider not be blurry

Those are sick. But yeah a faster shutter speed should do the trick.

Some photos your contrast is too high, I assume you messed with them in PS? Some of them were too flat.

In some of them u definitely need a faster shutter speed. but in order to do that u will need a sick flash or else the pic will probably be too dark. flashes usually make pics look sicker too.

Thanks for answering my question about contrast. I messed with it in iPhoto a bit. My shutter speed was about 1/300th, Aperture was about f4.8, and my ISO was at 400. I'll probably bring a flash next time I shoot.

and a faster shutter speed with a smaller aperature on the one where there are two riders one is really close to the camera. btw nice location. good find. hope this helps and happy shooting
