RE: #2 For an injured guy you sure seem pretty good at climbing trees. ;)

Nice shots of 495. The light looks great. You got any more from Massanutten?

I have a few from massanutten but nothing great only took pics for the last 20 mins of practice. The one in the tree was pre injury. I dont think ill be climbing much now.

Drifted off the course at the usopen going way to fast. Flew down the hill and all my momentum went into my hand. 1 plate 4 pins on the growth plate of my index finger. Shattered the bone so im out 2 mos but dont know if im going to race or not when i can ride.

I'm down with #2. Great composition, fantastic angle. Very unusual compared to other Dj pics. Almost seems like you could up the contrast and saturation to make it a bit more punchy and moody.

The reading one is clear and technically great, but I would have preferred to see more motion in the tires (slow shutter speed). I blew half of my shots from the Open by not getting slow enough.

Not a fan of the lighting or subject really in #1, but that's just me. Great stuff!

Sorry to hear about the hand, where did you go off course?

Jumps are outside DC.

Flew off course after the long road section when it has the slab you go down then the swooping down left turn. I hit the huge boulder on the right.

Sure..i don't want to cock up your thread though.

The stuff i have posted so far is at http://www.transcendmagazine.com/gallery/USopen

Nothing super fancy and gallery seems to destroy the compression on my pics when it watermarks them. I need to do something about that.

I will be adding more as I seal up the commercial sales this week. Had to keep a lot of the good stuff aside to try and sell it.

#1 conflicts with the tree's lighting is dull.

#2 is awesome

#3 looks like he's buried in rock

All 3 are really good in my book, playin with camera's is pretty fun. Hope you heal up good.:)
