I've just got a new camera (Canon 550D) and thought I'd give it a quick test drive! Tell me what you think (by the way I do know why he's a tad blurry and aim to rectify it next time).

    Not too bad, camera seems to be good quality, only problem I see is maybe you are focusing too much on the background which is causing the rider to become blurry while he's in the foreground.

    A nice camera - just need a bit of gnarly air.....

    Nice camera, and good for a first go but not very interesting IMO. The same front/back shot gets boring, try some different angles, aswell as different terrain + maybe some air :D Thats just my opinion though :P

    To be honest, for most people, if you can't capture something approaching the Red Bull rampage, you need to aim for stuff like this!

    Cool, retro and sometimes downright rude MTB and cycling themed T shirts. Just MTFU.

    We left the helmet off for the first shot and decided it'd look daft in the rest with it on! Plus its not exactly high speed (boring-ness-ness mentioned, and justified IMHO). But we do generally ride with helmets and knee pads. We are however on the organ donars list so you may just get our kidneys! ;)
