jmpsmash Member 244 posts Joined Jul 2007 Location: Santa Clara, CA, USA. More info | Feb 18, 2008 00:34 | #1 I went down to Stanford/Palo Alto today and took some shots of the Tour. It was really tough as these guys are so fast and zip right pass. This is my 2nd time shooting a cycling race and I tried to do different flavors of shots. But in the end, i just end up doing the same shots. Need more practice!         EOS 1D MarkIII | 85 f/1.8 | 35 f/1.4L | 70-200 f/4L | 24-70 f/2.8L | Tamron 17-35/2.8-4 | 580exII

I was on the inside end of the loop at Stanford, watching them come in before they make the final loop to the finish. i walked over there. but i got there late and all the spaces are taken already. i eventually walked back towards El Camino and there are lots more space over there to shoot. i also found the background less cluttered as well.
