So had the chance to see the big guys in Solvang, Ca spin their legs around for the 15 mi Time Trial. It was a good course with a slight climb in the beginning and slight downhill to the Finish.
Walked around and got to see Tom Boonen, Oscar Sevilla, Mark Cavendish, and a host of others including Lance and Levi...who were very busy entertaining a slew of people during their warm-ups.
Probably the hardest thing to do with my camera at this point is to get a (fast) moving subject in focus for a great image. I have been taking pictures of multiple types of races from motorcycles to cycling...and I have clicked many times but only coming out with a few (two) good pictures. Disappointing. I am working on my focus capabilities...
This image is in the trailer of the BMC team...there were about 20 frames in there hanging waiting to be ridden for the following stage...today was the Time Trial. I found this to be a good opportunity to capture repetition...I wish I had a better line of sight to be able to include the other bikes there in the trailer but oh well. I shot this with the 70-200 and tried to keep the aperture opened up a little more to give it depth.
...that means time with the little dudes! Robots and more robots...this thing talks at us if it is left on, trying to remind us that he is waiting for some fun. The day looks crummy outside so no pictures outside, not liking the cold today.
What a beautiful day in Central Oregon!!!!!! I had the chance to walk around for half an hour today to take a look around for some picture perfect setting. I was walking through a neighborhood and found this fire hydrant coming out of the wall from a building.
My son, Colin, loves trains! Not sure exactly what it is he loved about them but it was evident when he saw one passing by...he would say "Choo Choo Train!" I have since then been trying to capture pictures of anything relating to trains so that he can have a portfolio of images that he thumb through without having to go outside and wait for one. I like this composition of the sign because I tried to center the whole image yet let the edges run off the frame...which makes for a very whacky image.
I always find warning labels to be very interesting...they are on practically on everything that we own in our house. I like the contrast between the soft features of the lamp and the definitive content of the warning label.
This was a good day at the beach...the kids loved being in the sand. This was interesting to me because just the day before we were in the car nearly for 12 hours...so tire tracks on the beach was a great contrast. A vehicle driving in an environment that is considered to be relaxing, how I would love to be driving 12 hours on the beach from Bend, Or.
