I owe a huge thanks to Davey Coombs for hooking me up with photo passes for Unadilla, Budds Creek, and Steel City. I wouldn't have attended any of them without the passes, and Unadilla was truly an incredible experience for me. Also I can't thank everybody enough for the comments and props I get every time I post photos, they really motivate me to keep doing this and it looks like my work is finally starting to pay off.

Awesome shots!
When I saw the fog driving in, I knew they would make for amazing shots.
You got them for sure!

There are some damn fine photogs on this site. Stupid question: how many shots are taken on any given weekend?

Thanks for the post Adam.

Thanks for the comments everybody! Olddude; I'm sure i took a lot more than most photographers because I shot photos at the amateur race, pit bike race, all the B practices, constellation races, and tons of track photos. I was just shy of 4,500 pictures.


I am still shooting with the D80, it's a great camera, but it's starting to hold me back. The sigma 70-200 F/2.8 I have has trouble focusing if the bike is coming straight on, or low light, so It's hard to get good shots in the 2nd motos. I'm hoping to upgrade to a D300 before winter, I'm selling my 250F because my photography is starting to take priority.

Adam since it sounds like you are just beginning to invest in good equipment. Why not look for a good used Canon Mark II N ? And FANTASTIC pictures!

I really like the face shots of Dungey and Reed. Shows the difference of being in the points lead and trailing in the points lead. Fantastic.

I would love to get something that high end, I think I'm going to stick with Nikon just because I already have a few lenses. I would love to find a used D3 or something like that, isn't there a pretty good risk when buying a DSLR used?

Thanks for the post Adam.
I take between 2,000-2,500 photos at local races on a weekend. When i was taking photos from the fence at Hangtown I took about 2,000 in one day.

You need more passes. Great work.

Anyone else think Kyle Cunningham's style is nothing short of unique? You could put him in any gear, any colored bike, and change it up every race. Once the gate drops, I could pick him out. You can even tell in the still shot. Looks like it's been working well for him lately so I'm gonna have to start trying to mimic that.

Sorry to change the subject like that Adam. Like I said great pictures!!
