Scott 24Hr part 1

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Scott 24Hr part 1

Postby MHD on Sat Oct 07, 2006 4:47 pm

I went down to the Scott 24Hr this morning to wish some friends of mine well and to take some images...

This race, formerly known as the Mont 24hr is a great spot for action photography, with one real down side... DUST... I'm not looking forward to checking for dust bunnies :)

Got lots of keepers from this one so I will break it up in parts...

This was all shot on Sigma! ;) Both the 10-20 and the 70-200...
This first batch was D70+Sigma10-20+CP+Sb-80DX

The crowds this year were even bigger than last year, this is, after all, aparently the largest MTB event in the world

Some people were protesting the ACT government's descision to close several schools in the region

AND THERE OFF! The crush in the front of the first pack to leave... these guys are the solo riders... yes thats right 24 hours of going round and round...
nutters...

Good shots Scott. Notice the guitar slinger in the first shot - does he busk as he rides? Cheers, Mick :) :) :)
