Uploaded: May 07, 2010 07:17:51
The knobby tyres and colourful mudguards of motocross bikes stand out so well in the mid-morning light.
This before-the-action photograph was made at the Hastings Valley Motor Cycle Club's track, just south of my home town of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia on a wonderful late autumn morning.
Canon EOS D60 & Canon USM 100-300mm Lens: RAW, Manual settings of f/5.6 @ 1/500sec, 300mm, ISO 100, Hand held.
Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.
Enjoy!
Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS D60
