That triple was so huge. I glanced over at that side of the track (not knowing that jump was there) and saw riders flying half way up the trees going down the hills. Biggest that jump has been in a long time.

Same! I was watching the big gulp during practice and looked across the track and was like wtf jump is over there? They removed it? Watching from the infield it looked like Roczen and Tomac were still jumping it first moto

I've got a Canon 800d with a couple of kit lenses and a ef-s 18-135mm. I don't have much of a budget. I'm still in high school so I'm slowly building my gear but my uncle and I are building our collections together so I can always borrow his L lenses.

Cool, you've got the wide shots figured out and you are doing well with the setup you have. But if you can, try hard to save up $200 and buy an old 1DmkII or 1DmkIIn off eBay and it will make your life much much easier. Anything newer would be better of course, but I can tell you that old 1DmkII was a game changer and it's still relevant moto camera today that can be had for around $200. Every camera since has just made things easier, but I could still take out the old 1DmkII and capture very similar results than what I can with an R5 or R3. If your Uncle has a 70-200L of any variant, it will work great on that body.

Eventually, save up for the old 70-200 2.8 non IS as it was sharper than the IS model. IS II and III versions are great but obviously much more expensive. The 1DmkII with a 70-200 2.8 non IS would be the best bang for the buck on a smallest budget.

I don't see any pan shots in your portfolio. Put your 800D in Tv mode and set your shutter speed to 1/60th. Zoom your lens to 135mm and position yourself next to a straight away where the riders are flying by you from side to side (not coming at you or going away from you). Try to frame the shot so the rider is almost filling the whole frame when he is at the closest position to your lens. Once you are positioned just try to pan at the same speed the rider is moving. It's tough but you will get the hang of it and should be able to come home with some good keepers. Once you start getting keepers slow the shutter speed down to 1/50th, then 1/40th, and so on. The slower the SS the better.

Are you shooting RAW or jpeg? Hopefully you are shooting RAW and have access to Lightroom.

I was thinking of upgrading to a 90d but a 1d MkII is also a good option to look into.
I actually just started experimenting with panning shots this weekend but didn't take any good ones. I definitely have to practice more on that. I shoot mainly large jpeg because my camera struggles a little bit with burst RAW as well as my SD card. I've got the photography creative cloud plan so I have access to both Lightrooms and photoshop. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate the help.

What do you think about the Tamron 70-200 G2? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5F2HK/?coliid=I14X99M46OS80V&colid=3HQCO…
I've heard that it's a better budget option with a practically unnoticeable loss in quality.

Got it. If you want to be a moto photographer don't waste your money on a 90d. Any of these bodies below will allow you to shoot as good as anyone out there with the newer bodies:

1DmkIIn - $200 range
1DmkIII - $400 range
1DmkIV - $600 range
1DX - $1000 range

This 1DmkIIN right here is as mint as can be. If I was getting started on a super tight budget and I wanted to shoot moto like the pros I would offer this guy $220 and call it a day:

As for the Tamron yes they are good but some 3rd party lenses don't focus as well with Canon's AF systems. You are buying your gear used correct? How much is the Tamron vs the Canon 2.8 non IS?

I'll definitely look into getting myself a better body. Right now I'll stick with this so that I can master what I have. I also don't shoot moto enough to justify getting a new camera specifically for action. I typically go to the track every other weekend so I don't shoot a lot. What about the 8mp sensor though? I know mine is a crop sensor but it's still 24mp. Won't the 1d mk ii be a bit of a quality drop?

Okay, I thought you were all about shooting a ton of moto. If you shoot moto properly you shouldn't be cropping much if at all. With that said, the old 8mp sensor is fine as long as you are filling your frame with the rider and not trying to shoot in the dark.

Note, if you are cropping a lot now your images likely won't have any bokeh and will look more like snapshots than professional photos. And with your 24MP 1.6x crop sensor you are actually at a 54MP full frame equivalent. But again, all those pixels won't be used if you are framing your shots properly. Try to start framing your shots so that you don't end up cropping in post processing.

I of course try to shoot as much moto as I can but I can't make it to the track every weekend. I also shoot some sports at my school and some events when I get the chance. I usually only crop my photos a very small amount for framing and composition purposes. I rarely crop in more than 5% though. If I do it's just for experimenting with the hundreds of photos I took during the day.

I'll definitely look into getting myself a better body. Right now I'll stick with this so that I can master what I have. I also don't shoot moto enough to justify getting a new camera specifically for action. I typically go to the track every other weekend so I don't shoot a lot. What about the 8mp sensor though? I know mine is a crop sensor but it's still 24mp. Won't the 1d mk ii be a bit of a quality drop?

Okay, I thought you were all about shooting a ton of moto. If you shoot moto properly you shouldn't be cropping much if at all. With that said, the old 8mp sensor is fine as long as you are filling your frame with the rider and not trying to shoot in the dark.

Note, if you are cropping a lot now your images likely won't have any bokeh and will look more like snapshots than professional photos. And with your 24MP 1.6x crop sensor you are actually at a 54MP full frame equivalent. But again, all those pixels won't be used if you are framing your shots properly. Try to start framing your shots so that you don't end up cropping in post processing.

Crisp! The second one with Kenny would have probably been my new wallpaper without the white thing infront of the cam. :D The 7th with Jett is also top notch.

Banger thread btw.

I get your general sentiment but pointing someone towards an 8mp body in 2022 is kinda insane. The advancements in tech since then have been immense. I could build a motocross track with a shovel, but using a dozer is a lot better idea, and will be a lot more enjoyable.

There have been plenty of improvements in technology of course, but for shooting motocross in daylight not so much. You will get better AF and more fps with today's gear which just means more photos to cull and throw away. New bodies make it easier, but the end result is very very similar. Have you shot motocross with an old body like the 1DmkII? For someone with little to no budget you cannot beat it for $200...or, the same could be said for the newer 1D bodies if you have the money. Someone does not need the latest and greatest to shoot motocross in daylight. If you are talking Supercross under the lights that's a different story. As for 8MP sensor, what is mostly everyone doing with their final output these days? Posting on instagram? I used to have a giclee printing business and printed 8MP files plenty large for your wall. Nowadays with the latest software you can do even more with them.
