My visual style

My items basically consist of cars, bikes and scenery.  I really enjoy good color and contrast in what I watch, in particular, Top Gear, a BBC show, does a really great job with this.  They seem to capture a car, while still, and can make it seem fast and powerful just by their framing.  The biking stills are from films made by Anthill Films/The Collective.  These guys have very unique production techniques that include using camera operators using zip-lines through the forest to get shots that a boom couldn't do, using camera sliders and long-exposure on a dslr (the stars in the sky shot) to act as an intro to a new location, and using sliders to get cameras under bikes.

I really enjoy this shot, with the car in the lower third and the vignette in the top corners, the car really stands out and looks menacing.

This is probably one of my favorite zip-line shots because of the way the camera floats between the riders doing tricks. Plus, the lens flare and the green color adds to the tone of the shot. 

I really like unique ways of capturing a shot and this is really well done because it captures what's going on to the rider's side and in front of him with the reflection.

This is part of a long exposure camera shot on a timed slider.  The clouds flow like water in the sky constantly changing as the camera goes from inside to outside.

The plane in the right third plus it creating a silhouette makes the plane look powerful, not to mention how close the plane is to the camera.

This shot is coming out of a rack focus and the rider really stands out with the coloring. 

Another unique way to shoot. A slider under a bike to show scope of the location, and to reveal the new rider in a cool way.

Silhouette use is well done.  Plus the ground can't be seen which make the rider seem like he's flying into the orange and blue sky.
