Hey guys,
It's a tad late but I wanted to share some shots I took at Washougal. This was my first chance to shoot at a pro event and I went in with a goal of obtaining ONE shot that I'd be happy to hang on the wall and actually came away with several I'm quite proud of so I'm really excited to share these with you all. I hope you enjoy!

Drop me a comment with which one is your favorite. Please feel free to let me know if you'd like any of these sent directly for desktops, wallpapers, etc. I can send you full resolution at no cost I just want people to be able to enjoy them!

For you moto photogs---I am looking for advice, feedback, constructive criticism, etc. as I'm working to transition into the media field, please fire away!

Enjoy,
BC

I've got some advice for you.. You should go to more races take more pics and share them!
Great pics!
Also I agree with aeffertz (can not work out how to say that in my head haha) that AC pic is rad!

Nice shots!




Friend of ours took this years back. My pops finally sent it to me framed for my b-day! Shitty quality but a good pic/instant classic nonetheless!

You've got a serious talent!
The still shot of AC's bike is sick! Do you mind telling us the settings on that 1?
Also, what shutter speed are you using on the others?

I'm trying to move from landscape photography to action Cool

Nice shots! My faves are the pic of AC’s bike, the first pic of Kenny, and the one with AC on the rear wheel. I’d like to have that Kenny one as a poster on my wall 😎

Love the advice! My goal is to do more rounds starting with SX 2020. Currently working out how to do more. Thank you!!! AC is my favorite 250 rider by far, glad you dig them!

Sony 70-200mm f4 but I'm hoping to get the f2.8 GM before too long!

Hi Kieran, thank you for the kind words! I love photo and it's so fun shooting Moto! Shutter speeds varied throughout the day but most were over 1/1000. Some of the panning shots I slow it down to get some motion blur.

The settings for the first one would have been something like an A priority mode at wide open F4 likely. It was a relatively quick shot I took while walking the pits.

Also, I have a few more bike shots and stuff from around the pits if you guys want to see more?

Nicely done BC.

That tire looks destroyed. Laughing

I love clear lens days, so much intensity is lost with tinted lenses.

My jaw dropped when I pulled that one up on the laptop! Crazy

Washougal is pretty special and hopefully it comes out in some of the photos that it was a beautiful day to be at the races. Coming from Florida the races are usually a bit more...intense in regards to weather Smile .

Thanks for stopping by and the kind words!

For a quick shot it turned out perfect! I'd love to see more bike shots if you have them.

Yes, that’s right, right after the whoops!

I think this one would be a really awesome photo to frame up. Thanks for the feedback!!

The battle between him and Stew that year was probably the best race Ive ever been at. Incredible how fast those 2 were going.
