The boys were playing un supervised on the local dirt track, they are hams, so they were glad to have me shooting photos. No cropping, just taking sequences and happened to capture this image. Dodging to lighten the bike, adjust hue & sat on most the colors and sharpened, and NI to help get rid of the grain...
Upped the ISO to 400, trading grain for shutter speed and DOF. Anyhow, I am pretty glad how this turned out:) The one big negative is all the artifacting. I was shooting in sequence mode and moved my camera down to 2mp & 3mp to shot faster, but the compression rates are bad and I ended up with alot of artifacting. Oh well, life goes on...
AFTER THE CHALLENGE...
I took about 150 photos at the track that day, most in sequence mode. I had plenty of photos with the head included. The charm of this photo was that it gives the illusion that the motorcycle jumped and just kept on going up. I entered it because of that. Sorry to all the people that that thought I should have included the head:)
