Road Jump Sequence*


This is the first of the sequences that I've got to comp together from the top of Innerleithen at the Photogravity Event this weekend. Here's the steps required:


1: Find a rider who'll clear the road jump
2: Set up and frame take-off and landing
3: Waaait for it....
4: Let rip at 10fps until he hits the landing
5: Spend f******g hours photoshopping between spokes and frames!!

Next time: calm down the fps to get a better spacing between the frames perhaps?. Checking up on the lighting and sun direction would probably help too. So would a wider aperture to separate the rider from the background some more now that I think about it.

Still, this is the first time I've used the 1D for this and I'm pretty happy with it. Hopefully rider#47 (Andy Hyam) is too.
