Canon G2 and a Cycling Race

b · 6th of April 2004 (Tue)

We just hosted our criterium race this past Sunday at Berkeley for NCAA Cycling. I brought my G2 along and shot the event. It was my first time doing cycling photography and I was quite impressed how well the shots turned out since the cyclists were traveling around 25 MPH the whole time and it was hard to get a focus beforehand. The only post processing done was cropping and some brightness adjust on a few images. Shooting on it this weekend is making me itch the wallet and look at potential dSLR's for the next upgrade. 10D, 300D or D70 ......

(my favorite/best shots out of the 200 I kept. The rest are in another album.)

Comments would be appreciated if you have any too!

LOL! It can be quite addictive.

I went through the first page(Didn't have time for all 72 just yet), and it looks like you did a pretty good job with these Bikers. Enjoy.

I really like No. 4129!

I think you have great panning technique to get this effect with the G 2.
I also like the colours and the determined look on the guy's face.

Best regards,
Andy

Great pics nice panning, well done. I like the above pic also like 4114 as they are all concentrating and in a line, I wondered if it was cropped a bit more it might add to the drama although you see the wheel in front they are chasing so might not.

I really like 4114 a lot too. I cropped it from an original shot, but I wasn't sure if the other wheel in the left should stay or not. Granted you would know they are racing, I thought it might add something else. 4129 is probably my favorite out of the 300 or so pictures I shot. I was just surprised how many of the shots actually remained in focus with everything going so fast.
