Taken last weekend at the Goodwood GAS arena this is one of many shots of the freestyle MX boys performing their tricks. Canon 5D3 70-200 f2.8 l ISO 100 f8.0 1/1000 @70mm.
RAW to the core.

Thank you gentlemen, the Guys were coming up a ramp about 12 ft from me, so yes nice and close to the action.

Hi Eddy,
A brilliant photograph, but, at 12 feet away, it would be too dangerous for my liking. I suppose that as someone gets older, we get more cautious with the way in which we view the activities taking place around us. That being said, it doesn't detract from this being a brilliant photograph. Well done Eddy. 10/10. Regards. Phil.

Amazing capture, Pete. Did you have to do much processing of the image to make this super photograph?
Cheers. Philip

This is not a long process just a few clicks and slider drags, hope this helps. Pete RAW to the core.
