Thanks!, definitely motivation get out of the house some more

Nice shots, efm-7 -- that geese shot is very cool!

Damn awesome pics efm-7, I was like "I wonder what camera he is using to take such amazing pictures" and I am totally jealous of your x100

On the note of TdF, it's been a crazy weekend, or rather a crazy TdF with all the crashes that have happened

Wasnt that insane Robbie

just crazy!!! Those guys are studs...my thighs get sore just watching them

Well gang, I finally made it through all my shots from yesterday! Some family members called and assisted that I go with them for an outing to a local nature preserve park and then a barbeque so I was distracted for a few hours!

I decided to bike up to a bus stop and take one to my first photo "target" on the other end of town: the old cemetery.

Well, some "urban art" was decorating the bus stop, and I got the urge to photograph it, so my first photo of the day:

By the way, I believe I mentioned that I ended up with over 300 shots from the day, and ended up putting roughly 80 in PBase. I started several sub-galleries for the different places I stopped! Here's the PBase site if you are interested:

Anyway, from the park I headed straight for the "International Festival" a ways away, but a quick bike ride. I was somewhat amused that the first "presentation" encountered when walking through the gate was the local law enforcement:

I should say, I shot with the 30D and packed two lenses, the 16-35 and the 24-105, and was glad I did. I shot mostly with the 16-35 but there were times when the 24-105 met the need. All stuffed into my little backpack!

Ok, so watching the tour today did nothing but piss me off. Stupid drivers. That was a terrible accident, and then there was another

Although, I will say, yay for Rabobank! Got their first win, and on my next new bike 2012 TCR here I come

lol the X100 is a lot lighter than my "new" Canon 5Dc, that's for sure. Although the physical workout and shallowness of the DoF aren't nearly as good as the Canon Just to note, only the top 3 were shot with the x100, the next two are with the 5D + 50/1.8II, and the last one is just messing around with an old crappy Olympus Trip 35 I found at a thrift store

This is the detail shot of what caused the flat yesterday. It happened 1 mile into my ride. Im convinced this wall was weakened in my crash in June.

Someone said it around here "Tour De Crash" is what its been like. The guy should be criminally charged for what he did.

I might go Roubaix SL3 Pro SRAM next year put having shimano put in the Di2 into the ultegra group might prevent me from such a move

Nice bmx biker in the air tony!

Hey thanks, Omar, but it's gonna take some real practice to be able to get any decent shots from that sport!
