The Photos that you and all your sub photographers submit are always without any background. It looks like the photo persons you use dont know SHIT about MX and there is no background or Reference like LINES or BERMS . Dont you know that you need Background not like some bike floating in the AIR? Call Motocross ACTION if you need help! Tell them that you have never ridden an MX bike and want to take photos!

500guy, he's making a valid point.



It's a point I've made on numerous motocross message boards as well...



My hypothesis on this, is money. Corporations that sponsor (run ads) in magazines, riders etc. want their logos to appear. As much as this sport is a sport, it is also a huge business. After all, the dollar bill is what keeps this sport and damn near everything else on this planet running. If you have some awesome picture with a lot of background etc, the logos are pretty much too small to read.
By the way, my post is not directed towards GuyB, but motocross magazine photography in general

Your post is not only rude, it is also very disrespectful.

I happen to like GuyB's photos.

Like most people on here are respectful! If you are looking for respect get a dog idiot.

Everybody on here are a bunch of disrespecting assholes.

I wouldn't expect anything less of a response from a big mouth jerk off Joey from NY.

Look at all the colors of sponsor banners, Tuff Bloxs, gear, the bikes, ect. Use too much, it can take away from the image or subject, use too little and they look bland. There is a fine line to keep them from looking plain or over processed and altered.

Days like yesterday with dark sand and overcast skies will make you pictures look bad, nothing you can do to fix it. Millville was the same, as was Budds, Red Bud, and any cloudy day we've had this year.

Besides, what would you rather look at; the rider hauling, or a giant Monster logo? If it's the latter, I'll shoot some stickers your way.

I noticed in your pics on your bio page that you cut the top off the head off in one of your "action" shots. Let me guess, that was a reference line. LOL

I think he does a good job and gets some cool shots and I enjoy checking out the race photos every week.
It's not like you are having to pay to look at the photos...
So why even bother criticizing someones work?
Dude stood in the rain and the mud the past 2 weekends and came through with what I thought were good photos.

Focus, moving objects present.

For some strange reason I think GuyB has a pretty good idea what he is doing.

So ... who makes the best Mx photos , you need background not just the bike. You guys dont know any better so what should I tell you Green Horns? Lets see what you can do GuyB? Bikes in the Air or Bikes with a little background?

The background is full of advertising. Do you think all those advertisers paid to advertise on this site?

Honestly this is so frustrating. MX message boards are extremely useful - so much info and many opinions in one spot. It's frustrating when it gets immature and disrespectful like this... just like the threads about the guy who wanted to share his Southwick race report. It's why message boards get such a bad reputation.

You obviously do. We can we see your work? It sounds like you have it all worked out, now you just need camera.
