Is it just me or do them tires look relly big in that pic. Nice pics man! What kind of camera do you use?

[Pappy]

ok:rolleyes: this guy hit my foot:blah:

[Pappy]

closest call so far was this rider at a local. he lost it on this uphill turn. (its never a good sign when the wheels are pointing at you and they are off the ground:p ) i put my hand up to grab the wheel but couldnt grasp it:(

[Pappy]

he rolled it..so i took his pic. i was pissed off i didnt get the pics of the quad rolling:grr:

[Pappy]

The pic of brandon and this pic are 2 of my favorites

[TheFontMaster]

What is the delay like with the better cameras?

There is the delay from when the button is pressed and there is the delay between shots. The first can be adjusted for but not the second.

Do you use the burst mode, I think that's what it's called, when three shots are taken rapidly. I think my camera has that but I haven't tried it yet. Does it work well?

[DillonTMNT]

I am pretty sure he used a D100 made by Nikon. With the Digital SLR cameras there is little to none (and I mean zero) delay between shots. He prolly has his custom shutter speed (and other things) settings and whatnot on his camera set up for the fast pace movements on the atvs. I would think he sets the shutter speed super fast to capture the dirt without too much motion (blur). I wish I had a DSLR....sucks to have to get stuff developed (since I cant do my own as I dont have a dark room). I need a slide scanner....I am sure Pappy can feel me on that .. :)

Pappy get one of me and ill sign it for ya:devil: it will be worth money someday:blah:

[Pappy]

JOEX i use so many different settings to get different effects it aint funny:p i normally only take 1 picture at a time, but your correct, i keep the camera on "burst" mode so if action strats happening i can rattle off 8 to 12 pics real fast.

[Pappy]

and i use continous focus alot so i can keep up with the action

[Pappy]

and yes, currently i shoot a Nikon D100 digital slr with an assortment of lenses.
