Wow!

Thanks! The photo was taken with a Canon EOS R w/Tamron 100-400MM lens at 1/1600, f/6.3, ISO 250 @ 400mm. That's X-Games Gold Medalist Destin Cantrell. No Photoshop - just cloudy skies at the Miramar Airshow last September.

Real photo ??? The wheel dont turn at all, no smoke ... To have no sky no background make it just like composite....

Herve, Thanks for your feedback. The photo was taken with a Canon EOS R w/Tamron 100-400MM lens at 1/1600, f/6.3, ISO 250 @ 400mm.

The photo is real with a few very modest curve adjustments in Lightroom. It was taken at the Miramar Air Show in San Diego last September, it's definitely not a composite - the event is held near the beach, so the background you see is actually the overcast skies. No Photoshop or cut-and-paste!

Destin Cantrell is the rider. He's with the Monster energy Freestyle MX Tour, demonstrating some incredible tricks.

Again, thanks for the comments. Dan
