MX Photography
So after going up with Frankie and Perkles to Whaddon MX track with the camera, I got invited back and I have to say I'm quite enjoying the challange of capturing bikes. It's certainly not as easy as Jack makes it look from his shots ! I thought I'd share a couple of favourite shots with you, because I can

Re: MX Photography
There's a good sense of motion in the third picture.
The fourth reminds me of John Constable for some reason.

Cheers mate. At the moment the rain would make a nice change from spending 6 hours breathing dust! I came home thinking my tan had really improved, until I stepped in the shower...Jack wrote:Nice set , glad you are enjoying it - wait until you have to do 8 hrs in the pissing rain at Cadwell it's not so much fun and I don't recall ever saying it was easy .

Re: MX Photography
One place I could use some help/tips is post processing.. I came back with about 1500 images, I assume you have a similar amount. What software so you use to review, choose, and sort the images? I assume you group by bike to get the best shots of each rider.D6Nutz wrote:Cheers mate. At the moment the rain would make a nice change from spending 6 hours breathing dust!

Re: MX Photography
I dump everything in lightroom and work through it either race by race or session by session for trackdays , I shoot in RAW so lightroom auto adds my adjustments to shadows etc etc , then its just a case of checking the focus and making any minor adjustments and possibly a crop I then assign it a colour according to what group or race it was in so I can collate and upload .
edit : Also 1500 is childs play , I shot over 5000 images this weekend . Most I've done is a tad under 9k in a weekend when I was younger fitter and more enthusiastic .

I've been recommended Photo Mechanic as a good tool for reviewing raw from the card. Not looked at the cost yet, but it has a free trial.

Re: MX Photography
windows 10 handles my RAW files very well and if you are just checking focus and doing basic editing like a crop then I wouldn't spend any money on software.

Re: MX Photography
I bought standalone Lightroom (very hard to locate it these days) for about £90 and it's fantastic. You can do some fairly advanced stuff on there if you choose to.

Re: MX Photography
Oh, I know it's low. There where less than 100 riders and I'm still learning the best parts of the track so a lot of walking. I'm still only shooting slow speed as well. Over the winter they get 200+ riders so the track is going to get busy, I'll be in full burst and probably buying some new memory cards.Jack wrote:

I'll spend a bit more time with LR classic before shelling out. Might also not help that I'm on and older MacBook.
