Here you can find some of my pictures that I took while attending motocross and supercross races. The most recent was the MetLife SX in of 2019 and High Point, Unadilla as well as the Motocross of Nations at Red Bud in 2018
All my pictures from the 1990's that are one here were taken with a Minolta XG7 that was made in the early to mid-1980's. It was an old camera and there was no auto anything! The races at High Point in 2012 & 2014, Budds Creek 2013, and Met Life SX in 2014 were all shot on a borrowed Olympus 620.
I have been researching DSLR's for a while now and I came to a conclusion last fall when I rented a Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3 MP Full Frame Digital SLR Camera and a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II Lens that it was the kit I wanted. I rented this set up and used it for the 2-stroke Shootout at Sleepy Hollow. I personally think the pictures came out great! I also used a friend's Nikon D800 (I think) and although the photo quality is great, I found the Canon easier to use and make adjustments to different settings. I also found that the Canon seemed to write the images to the cards faster and not use up the internal buffer. Since I am going to primarily use the camera for motocross events, this was a big plus for the Canon.
I ended up purchasing a Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3 MP Full Frame with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens and a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens. I need a little more time to get the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II Lens, but from what I read, the 70-300 f/4-5.6 should suffice until I get the funds together for the 70-200 f/2.8L. I also purchased a Kingston Digital MobileLite Wireless Flash Reader for Smartphones & Tablets to be able to transfer the photos from my camera & SD card to my iPhone 6+ so I can upload some photos directly from the events that I attend, to Instagram. If you are looking at purchasing any of these products (or anything else for that matter), I have provided links below to them on Amazon. It would be greatly appreciated and will help me get the 70-200 f/2.8L a tiny bit quicker if you would use my links! Oh, and make sure to check out pictures from the Monster Energy Supercross from Met Life Stadium on 4/25/15. I will try to get some uploaded on Sunday the 26th. Follow me on Instagram to see some pics from raceday as the event takes place!
