Camera, lights, MOTOCROSS! Off road with the Nikon D500

From the iamNikon Blog:

When it comes to action, photography and taking risks, Marcel Lämmerhirt is your man. Discuss anything related to these areas and it’s hard not to notice the anticipation and enthusiasm building in Marcel. With a particular passion for speed, Marcel has photographed everyone from snowboarders to professional cliff divers, and journeyed everywhere from the Swiss glaciers to Tokyo, seeking his perfect shot.

So, in November 2015, it is no surprise that we approached Marcel to see what he could do with the Nikon D500. It didn’t take long for him to come up with an idea: to photograph Alvaro Dal Farra freestyle motocross athletes in the DaBoot Superpark, Lentiai, Italy. It was to be one of the most challenging and exhilarating shoots he’s experienced so far. In this guest blog, he revisits this experience, sharing the unexpected challenges he & his crew came across and how they overcame them.

Note: While this blog post contains many well-crafted extreme sports images, be sure to check out the shot created by mounting the Nikon D500 and NIKKOR AF DX Fisheye 10.5mm f/2/8G ED to the motorbike's handlebars (it's insanely good). [Sean]
