I've seen some really great photos from some of you guys and was wondering if you could give me some tips. I'm using a Canon G2 with an external flash (Canon EX 380) with a small soft box on it but I can't freeze the action well enough or get a really good exposure so I'm wondering what you guys are using and doing? I've seen some really good pictures with non-SLR digital cameras so I know I should be able to get better pics than what I'm getting now. These were taken at the flow park so I know lighting is an issue. In the first pic I think my biggest problem was that I wasn't close enough for the flash to be effective. As far as focusing goes, I pre-focus on the spot where I want the rider to be when I take the picture. Timing is also an issue since there is that dreaded delay from when I press the shutter to when it takes the picture.
