Shannonville - Round 1 (bikes) - I LOVE my press pass :)

[urameatball]

The 3 greatest things in my life - a press pass, bikes, and a 300mm!

round 1 - Shannonville...


1. By far the SHARPEST shot I've EVER taken in my life!

1-1. 100% crop, no sharpening at all, bike moving at around 100km/h. (1/640sec, F5.6, ISO100, 300F4L, 10D)

Sweet! That first one really is damn sharp! I think I like the second one best though, because of the crop. I like to see the contact patches. Well, around them anyway. The one of #26 is a really nice angle, too.

Those are some super shots! Amazing detail & composition for something moving that fast.

Did you hand-hold these, or shoot off a monopod?

markc,
glad you like them .

photobug,
thanks . These are off a monopod! There's no way I'm hand holding a 10D + 300mm for 7hrs!

I like your #3 best. It's a different angle from your other pictures but it's also a nice angle and composition. I'm still amazed at the sharpness you get from your action shots.
