Every extreme sport has a somewhat different style for shooting.
Mountain bike photography is no exception to this rule.
A well lit face can be the difference between an awesome shot, and a throwaway.
Lightstands typically do not have adjustable legs.
This makes it tough to use them on uneven mountainous terrain.
But really the best options are cheap tripods from Wal-Mart.
This creates really cool and unique results.
This creates some truly remarkable images.
The best way to fight spotty forest lighting is by using a flash.
Underexpose by a bit and bring the flash in to compensate on the athlete.
This will make the lighting look much smoother!
