Looking back to go forward
I was going through some archives and found a few images that I shot 4 years ago at the SA Mountain Bike Champs in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. As a photographer you sometimes learn new skills and older skills just get shelved and occasionally brought out. It’s a good idea to look at your old stuff and learn from old mistakes or pick up forgotten techniques.
These images were shot by panning with the subject and a very slow shutter speed and using second sync flash to freeze the rider. I’m glad I found these and need to use the technique more as they really create striking results..
