Scheveningen - Red Bull Knock out 2016
« on: November 19, 2016, 18:05:57 »
I am not quite certain what possessed me to go to the beach today and shoot some muddy motorbikes.
It was cold and windy, didn't enjoy that.
It was crowded and loud, loved it :)

The second one in the sequence is particularly well composed, with the helicopter in a text-book position :D

Wonder if glueing empty soft-drink cans on your crash helmet really helps in an emergency? If that be the case, is the brand immaterial?

Bjørn, Red Bull gives you wings :)
Thanks!

I also used the 300/4.5 AiS.

I prefer the 142610. Just readjust the horizon 😎

Great series. #2 (the one with the chopper) and #5 (the one with lighthouses in bg), I like especially. 300 ai-s, huh!  :D
I like the composition in all the shots.

Thank you Anthony and Chris!

Thomas I remember the horses and the ship, great image!
Anirban, you are always so kind, thank you!

Nice series. The 300mm photos stand out for me.

I like the flying saucers in the distance of the last one.

Excellent action shots, and I think the old 300/4.5 does pretty well (I used to have one, long, long, lo-o-o-o-ong ago).

It is a special (sharp) series, Jakov.  The weirdo with the Bull cans beats them all  ;)
