Some photos from AMA Supercross race from last Saturday took place in QWest Field. It was a great event. I had a lot of fun shooting it.

Holy cow, those are amazing! Really impressive...

How did you get the look in that second photo? Looks like a painting. Almost looks like HDR, but I'm not sure.

Wowsers very cool. It's hard to choose a favorite.

Thanks Janice...

Bob i didn't do anything besides a little fill and contrast on all the photos. Second photo looks like that cuz there was some smoke in the air from fireworks. No HDR. It was such a great event...

Those are fun shots, nice work.

I still love the first race of the night at these things when all the bikes hit that first jump together and are in the air, it's just so spectacular.

Awesome collection of shots here Turk, you covered the event well. Next best thing to being there.

I love the shot of all the bikes peeling out at the starting gate - such a unique perspective.

That starting shot is cool. How did you get access to the track? Obviously you must have had a field pass, were you shooting for the AMA folks, or the press?

 

[TheTurk]

^I was shooting for a Media group based in downtown Seattle. That's how i got the press pass.

Amazing shots! A pleasure to view these. My son loved them too! (he's 6 and was freaking out over them.)
