Can I say a few things, not trying to hurt your feelings. Try a shallower depth of field to make the background a little less out of focus. And try to frame your photos to lose spectators in the background, that aren't even watching the action. And it's just a personal aspect of photography for me, but you could also increase your f-stop, to create a little more motion in the wheels, so that the bike and rider don't seem frozen in space, and create the allusion of movement/action.

Maybe you mean decrease your shutter speed so the wheels look like they are in motion...

thanks for the feedback, we have no source of editing, and we are doing the best we can with our equipment! We are excited for the new MacBook pro with adobe, and a new Cannon 6D that will be coming in soon! Give our page a like and stay tuned, maybe some photos you like will pop up soon!

Good luck. You have a long way to go, but a good base to grow on.

Jack,

If you are planning on getting serious and shooting strictly moto I would suggest buying a used 7D for around $400 and spend the rest of your money on a good lens. A 70-200 f/4 will work or better yet if you can afford it a 70-200 f/2.8 (don't be afraid to buy used gear). Also, you can rent lenses for races as well. The better glass will really make a difference in your images.

As far as bodies, yes any body will work but why not pick the best tool for the job? I always promote the old 1DmkII for moto but it's ergonomics and menu system are a little tough for a newbie to learn. However, if you can learn how to use it you'll have $300 investment that can hold it's own to a 1DX or 1D4 for shooting the Nationals.

Good luck

You're correct, I haven't shot a photo on film in 20 years, and only with a cell phone for 10 years Tongue
