Hey Eric,
The right perspective is important when it comes to Motorcycle Stunt Images.
I use to be heavy into this, doing it as well as photographing it. Invest in some very wide angle lenses (14mm-24mm in length) as well as a few medium to long telephoto (200mm-300mm in length) and you'll make a killing selling the images as well as come up with some AWESOME work. I really like the last image, it's up close and in your face, VERY WELL EXECUTED!!! Parking Lot Stunting is exciting to photograph and most stunters are willing to work with you. Also, if you really want to get some advanced type images, invest in a Bogen Super Clamp and a Radio Wireless Trigger and attach it to the bike..... GREAT IMAGES!!! I have a couple of YouTube videos of me back in the day with some friends "tearing up the streets".....

^love the videos mark. i used to do a little parking lot myself but was never that good at it. i was alot better on the hwy. i would have loved to be there on video number 1. i was learning how to do gastank wheelies. just have had to many friends die so figured i loved my life a little more then i thought i did when i first started stunnting. just sold my bike about 4 days ago.

thanks for the feedback and i might have to work on getting the lens. right now only have my sigma f1.4 to get me some decent quality pics. i wouldnt mind going out one day if your free. im sure i can set something up.

I'm like you, Eric..... I sold my bike a couple of years ago, but will probably get another one soon. I'm not sure if you're familiar with a place here in Houston called ASI, but it's like a little "underground" area where several stunters go to practice, mainly on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons. There, you'll find several guys there to practice with. I have a female friend whose been stunting off and on but is seriously thinking about getting into it this up coming season. She wants to compete next summer at some of the Stunt Competitions..... so we'll see how that goes.

i know exactly where that is at. i got burned out of that place on sundays. lol. nothing new ever. except for maybe some noob meeting the pavment on the street next to the parking lot. but ya im not that good to be doing night time pics just yet. my pics always come out with fuzz looking stuff in the sky. lol. the sky never just looks blk. im not good at editing my pics just yet. im trying what i can with my CS3 program but could use some pointers.
