First attempt at bicycle racing

[AdamC]

I was on my way home from soccer a while back when I came across some bicycle street racing, and thought I'd give it a go. Harder than I thought - hard to focus on, and I wasn't sure how to compose the shots. Here's the 3 that were even close to being in focus. :) C&C welcome.

nicely done indeed. i have read on other threads that bike racing is notoriously difficult to photo. as a bike racer myself i am usually on other end, and i can say i would happily pay for first two shots, they are spot on. you should post those on photobucket or something and then send link to the race promoter or local clubs. -- alex

Good shots!!! I race bicycles and shoot some races as well. I find it VERY fun to shoot. Getting good crisp shots can be a bit tricky but after a few races, especially at the same venue, you get the hang of it.

Wow, thanks all. I didn't think they were much good myself. :)
