Post Your Winter Action (Snowmobile Pics Inside)

[Nitroimage]

Hey I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one who has some winter time ahead of them before I can hit a warm noisy drag strip, and, since it sounds like a few of you (Kelly) have been shootin' winter action probably a lot longer than me, I thought what better place to show off some work and kill some time than here. I'll start...

Who says you can't capture action with a point-n-shoot?? I snagged this image of a friends son busting through a river embankment with a Panasonic FZ20 camera. I set the camera to manual with a shutter speed of 1/500.

Pano FZ20 again, slowed the shutter down and panned with the subject (my son this time)

Same Pano, with a bit of post processing for effect.

It definately takes some practice to shoot this kind of stuff with a PnS, due to the shutter lag and lack of adequate image framing ability, but give it a try, you might surprise yourself with the results!

Looking forward to seeing your stuff!

i think that you nailed it with that little camera! number one gets my vote as the best of the three.

Damn, those are nice shots!!!! I was supposed to do the sno cross series this year but the oval stuff has me busy every weekend, I do miss it though, those guys are as crazy as they come. Where do you call home???

Thanks guys... Kelly, I'm sure you've never heard of it, and I know you're gonna laugh, most do, I'm waaaay up here in Moose Jaw, SK.

I would love to catch an oval race someday, be a good excuse to haul out some big glass. Where's some shots man??;):p

I'm from the Great White North as well, Windsor, Ontario so I definately know where Saskatchewan is. I was out in Calgary last year, a bit closer to your neck of the woods

I had a friend who rode a dirt bike in the winter like that, good shots 71Monte.

I was able to get out and play a little with the sleds this past weekend and on a ride with friends along the river one of my buddies climbed the snow covered river embankment. Yeah sure he made it up, but he didn't come down very well :o I'm relieved to report however that the sled and rider are doing well :cool:

Heres a link to some I shot in Rock Rapids Iowa a few weeks ago. 50 degrees was nice to shoot in but it sucked for the sleds. Some of them suck, I havent edited anything yet.http://kellyandersen.smugmug.com/

Well finally :p

The gallery looks great Kelly! I love the vintage sleds in action way more than their contemporary counterparts.

Thanks!
