#5 is great! It's a shame the end of the flame is a bit cut out though.

enjoy the Games, Brian!
hopefully get a moment to watch some coverage at some stage. for me the final image i find the most interesting - a fairly original idea that one. i like them all...good to see these!

 

[matfoster]

btw - i forget to ask - how many shots did you take of the event?

3 and 5 are by far the best!

3 is good, 5 is my favorite, and I liked the artistic concept behind 6.

Thanks for the replies. I got a couple more shots at the very end of the torch relay, not as good as the ones from this morning though. See below.

The crowds were so large that I really couldn't aim at anything while looking through the viewfinder. There were so many people taking pictures and some guy's camera is what I focused on.

Total for the day about 180. But that includes some random shots of police on horses.
