Superweek of cycling II

No bamboo bikes in this set, this time a 'flash-a-thon'. Congratulations to Nils Plotner of Germany who won the overall competition in the 17 day long 'Superweek' racing series this year.

very nice, 2 and 3 are my favorites

awesome captures again Biff, and the guy in #3 looks to be in a very uncomfortable place !! Can you give us some idea of your set up for something like #1
Thanks again please keep them coming.

Thanks.

I'm kneeling in the grass and he's passing no more than 5 feet away from me. I track him, panning as he comes by (very quickly!). It was late afternoon and cloudy, so light was a problem for everyone shooting even with fast shutter speeds and panning was the key to keep the focus on track.

1D MkIIn, Tokina 11-17 at 11mm, F4, ISO 200, 1/1250th manual exposure. 580EXII flash in high speed sync. probably at 0 or maybe -2/3 power.

Rest assured it took many tries to get the setup and technique correct, but once I nailed it, I was getting keepers one after another.

(Referenced from another thread):Nobody rides with that sort of intensity around here!

Looks like you captured some of that intensity in #3. Nice job!

Thanks for the info! #1 is what I was going for last week but I couldn't nail down the settings fast enough. They look great!

Thanks Biff, appreciate the share. looking forward to our summer and trying that out.
