Tips/Advice wanted

[Chlowasaki]

Hey everyone

Tomorrow I'm going to a BMX trail to photograph the bikers performing tricks etc to promote that particular trail.

I've only really shot landscapes before, let alone moving people/objects. So I'd really appreciate any tips/advice you can give me to bare in mind!

Thanks, Chlo

Experiment with shutter speed and practice panning. It's relatively straightforward to capture a moving subject with a fast enough shutter speed.. but making it look like it's moving is a little more difficult. Get a few conservative shots in the bank and then play with ideas. Have fun!

If they are doing jumps and stuff ,try and catch them at the top of the jump for a sharp picture.

Oh!, and don't forget to get the falls and spills,thats what most people want.

Use continuous focus and track the bike as it approaches your shot.
