ive been stiching together some images lately and thought id share.

these were taken a few weeks ago at cwmcarn in south wales, we went for a day's downhilling and i pulled out the camera and took a few at the end.









comments welcome

cwm carn is awesome

i've not been since the dh track was put in thou, need to get in there again

[Funkstar]

those are some great photos dude. How did you do the first two?

[5lab]

btw, are you not worried about destroying yer camera? i always find when mine is in my bag i dont ride very 'hard'.. bit annoying tbh

[Dav0s]

how did you do the last one? assuming you use photoshop, i could do it in fireworks, but am trying ot learn PS atm

[Dav0s]

double post..plz delete

5lab - i leave the camera in the boot of the car at the bottom of the hill, these shots are only on the last section, couldnt be arsed to walk the hour to the top!! but yeah, i hate riding with a camera on my back.

davos and funkstar - all done in photoshop with layers, the first is 5 shots layered together and and cut apart to let the rider show through then balanced for colour. the last shot you duplicate the background, make the background black and white and use the eraser to cut out al the excess from the foreground then flatten

hope it helps

Really really good Id love to have the skill to first get those shots, then do that with them....respect

PS chap on the first shot has some serious air under him

cool noah, what camera?

[autopilot]

Very good mate

[noah]

cool noah, what camera?

all on the d70 with 18-70ED lens bud

was very pleased as i took these after having the camera for 1 week, but then its pretty much the same as any other slr i've owned.

as far as skill goes ive got a book called photoshop for digital photographers which taught me loads about how to use the massive program that it is.

cheers
