What it says on the tin, I caught the sprint finish on the line at Herne Hill yesterday and looking at it on the camera straight away I thought that one pic was worth coming for.

Ignoring the racing ones (of which it would be hard to chose a best), I'll put up this one as a contender.
Nikon coolpix 2000 at 30mph down Glencarse from Kinnoull Hill.

or this one at a more sedate pace

Great pic
That gets top marks just for having the balls to take it on the move

I personally know two people that have broken their collar bones trying to take pictures on the move.

On the move is easy. You just need to have a model saying 'left', 'up' etc.. And to concentrate on the important thing (wheels between you and the tarmac).

I might trawl through the racing ones - there are a few nice ones in there.

That photo ^^ certainly resembles a painting more than a photography. I like.

This is one of my faves from the weekend - about 40 miles into a 56-mile triathlon bike leg, with the run to go...

I always quite liked this one, taken on Bryan Chapman 2007. Subjects too well known for it to be an Arrivee cover.

I didn't take this one, but I did direct the photographer through almost ever single step (including getting a set of steps for him to stand on).

That is me, on the tandem, with my youngest.

I took loads at the Smithfield Nocturne this year, but I like the ghosting effects in this one

'Paint Daubs' artistic effect in Adobe Photoshop.

I don't know whether it's my best, but I do like this one

Monkey with a ~~typewriter~~ camera syndrome I'm afraid. No idea on the make of camera let alone settings! This is the top UK crosser racing in my club cross promotion on my farm last year.

I took this one of bobb getting to the top of Exmoor in 2007. Camera was a bog standard FujiFilm compact digital.

My favorite one of me is this one, which my dad took at Herne Hill this summer. Just to put it in context - I was in a two and a half lap handicap race, and had started right from the back. This photo is just 3/4 of a lap in. The lady to my left was a total liability - she decided to veer heavily to her right as I was about to go past, which is why I had to go so wide! I came fourth. Great fun though.
