Great trip, but the landing can be bumpy.

 Covering an offroad event for the paper, and saw this challenge this morning (8:43 Monday AM NZ time.)

Got some great shots on this jump, although this one works best uncropped IMHO. Interesting concept for a challenge, and works well for me, as I always shoot jpeg, and prefer to 'get it right' in the camera.

Anyway, post editing was, Oh. Scale (Cubic scale in GIMP) and save... Would be nice to sharpen it a little at this size, and the white balance is maybe a little off..

Shot at 200mm, with the 580ex for a bit of fill (down two stops) because the sun was almost directly behind the cars here. (as in to my left in this shot)
