A few Chicago Pro race photos

I was in the city, so took a few shots which are here:

Hope you enjoy.

Those are fun. Thanks

Andy

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Gary the pics of Matty running along the trees w/ skyline in the background are great.
Thanks for those.

The stop motion type shots are really cool. Kind of like Gumby starring Matty Reed :slight_smile:

Great pics, thanks!

awesome

Gary, how did you blur 41 compared to 40? I have photoshop but never seen that before? Like the effect

Thanks for the compliments, Guys! It’s a ton of fun combining passions, and the water made me happy I wasn’t racing.
Gary

Ouch, I think I’m the only pro male not to make the photos. Guess that fits considering my crappy race.

Sorry Jimmy! I missed a few I was looking for, so you were not alone. I wish i would have known beforehand so we could plan a bit better.

Thanks for the compliments. I use photoshop, but also have NIK Effects plugins. I think that particular one was a couple of actions I have in my action folder, and then I used a mask to eliminate the effects in certain spots. It’s just fun playing with them and seeing ways to create a bit more interest in the photos. I appreciate the questions as well.

Hey Jimmy, didn’t know you were on the forum. Wanted to say thanks for taking the time to head to Fleet Feet on Friday.
Always nice for us AGers to get access to your thoughts.

Oh yeah, I’ve been on here for years.

No prob on the Fleet Feet clinic, my pleasure. I don’t know what the general feeling on that type of thing is for most pros, but, I really like doing it. It’s never a hassle from my point of view. I know I’m still learning and I’ve been racing pro for 10 years now plus another 3-4 prior to that.

Thanks for coming out. See ya next year (or sooner).

Jimmy
