Another great season of Portland Racing's mountain bike short track series. Thank you all who came out and chatted with us. Our photos have been up for a week, but we were a little slow with the blog posting.

Somedays you just aren't meant to race.
Another great day of short track racing. I wsa a bit tired from shooting the Cream Puff the day before so the photos don't vary as much as they usually do. I think you will be happy with the results though; some racing portraits.

Every year at the short track series races we try to shoot in a different way. This week we decided to shoot with a Diana lens set. The Diana lens is a plastic lens from a plastic camera popular in the 60's and 70's. The lens produces a different look that is soft and has a glow to it. The look isn't for everyone, but it is something different so you aren't seeing the same photos week in and week out. Let us know what you think.

Another great day of racing at PIR. A few nasty spills on the road and in the dirt, but that is racing.

What do you get when you have the first race of a mountain bike short track series, the longest day of the year, lots of enthused cyclist and a nice dry day in a wet year? You get a lot of crazy faces. Check it out for yourselves.

What do you do to get people to come to a racing in 100 degree weather? You turn on the sprinklers with the promise of mud. Well the heat may have kept the faint at heart away but there were still plenty of racers and spectators at this weeks short track race.
Last week I shot completely with a Lensbaby, this week I shot completely with a fisheye. What is a fisheye you ask?
In photography, a fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens that takes in an extremely wide, hemispherical image.

After two weeks of missing the short track races due to illness I was itching to get back out to PIR. This week I choose to shoot the night using my Lensbaby 3G. For those that don't know, this lens creates a spot focus effect then blurs the image out from that spot. Most people initially believe that it is a Photoshop trick done post-processing. The Lensbaby is a cool lens but it often gets left in the bag because it is unique and you have to be in the mood to shoot with it to do it right.

It was a perfect night to kickoff the start of this year’s Portland Mountain Bike Short Track Series. I believe that numbers were up from last year, which you could tell from the kid’s race. Too see all of our photos click here or click on the jump to see a slideshow of highlights.
