Nice series, the exposure doesn't look like it's off by much..

On one hand it is too a point "morbid" on the other hand its what we do, i do wish they were sharper though that was all my fault I was at the point of shoot or run :rolleyes:
Edit: By the way he did have a puncured lung but recoverd fine and finished the race I had acually handed him back his bike I did ask him if he was ok to go ? he couldnt reply more then a gasp of air [crazy]

Yes I use a 10D still having seperation anxiety moving to a new body. I was using a Tamron XR 3.8 - 5.6 / 28 - 200 mm This track gets so dusty and windy common to see 60 mile an hour . That I cringe taking good lenses out there , But I have taken some rather good shots with the lens the focus is unpredictable alot of the time

Hang on! You said he had a punctured lung - and he still carried on? Holy crap.

That is a very er, striking image isn't it?

I ALWAYS wear a chest protector, no matter how un-cool they may look. That ugly hunk of plastic has saved me so many times I'm sure!
