Zone 7 Womens Day - Cape Town

These riders gave me a good run for my money and I made sure to capture some great shots.  For these shots I mainly used a 55mm - 250mm lens but some aras required the use of the 18mm - 55mm lens.  For close up shots of motocross photography I could easily just use the 18mm - 55mm as it gives great clarity, quality and clear .facial expressions.

I love close up photography as it gives me the chance to be up to a metre away from the motocross riders where I can hear them grunting or giving a shout out to me.  But at the end of the day I love any photography!

Womens Day 2012 at Zone 7 Cape Town

While the rest of the country was indoors in front of heaters due to snow falls, I was out photographing riders on their family fun day.  A huge high five to a few female riders representing all the ladies out there on Womens Day!  The talent and commitment is visible in the photographs and those guys and girls are sure to make their mark in the motocross world.  Regional races are taking place across South Africa at this stage so make sure you get to your local track to support these riders.  If any of you riders out there need to capture your skills on film, be sure to give me a call.

One of the perks of my job is having a view like this of Table Mountain from a shoot at the track. HELL I LOVE MY JOB!!

As a photographer especially with motocross photography,you learn to take everything in your stride to get that perfect shot. Walking the distance of the track and dodging riders and their roost can be a very exhausting experience.On this specific day at Melkbos I was fortunate to catch Anthony (#23) putting in some hard laps which helped me get some sick photos of a pro at work.

The Beginning Of A Journey

A huge shout out to all the motocross and FMX fans out there.  As a sports photographer and HUGE MX fan, I'll be covering events mainly in the Western Cape but will be travelling to where my services as a photographer is needed.  I've spent quite a bit of time around the tracks of Cape Town and there are some sick jumps and technical sections for the riders out there.

My blog will be covering events and reviews of MX and FMX riders / champions in the South African Motocross field.
