Bike Race - 06-18-2005, 08:22 PM


There was a bike race downtown in Amarillo today. We were lucky enough to get there while they were still running it. Here's one of the shots I got. All I know is, I was in Tv mode, 1/125 sec. I think aperture was f/16 as determined by the camera.

Thanks, Sarah. I had to crop it down quite a bit. Gotta get a bigger zoom lens. :)

Nice shot, Dox. I was there too. Here is a shot I took and then had a bit of fun in Photoshop.

Here's another shot. The starburst is real. I did a major crop on it to get this view. With shots like this, I wish I had a good zoom/telephoto on it. :)

Yeah, every time I go to events like that I wish for bigger lenses. I can do a lot with my 75-300, but then I start wishing for *faster* lenses.... heh, it never ends!
