I know exactly what they were pondering at the time

I think this is brilliant (technically and compositionally, OK a 2 degree rotate may not go amiss or is it my imagination?) and would make a great cycling magazine cover.

I've seen this a lot (on this and that other forum) but it's still superb. I think a good cycling photo should at least try and convey the joy of riding a bike and this one does just that. Technically good as well (although you were just damn lucky with Charlotte's hair and Shades I'm afraid).

Some Wowbaggers giving homage to the LBS.

I thinking they're pondering how many new bikes they can strap to the back of the tandem...

They remind me of that Start-Rite shoe advert from the '60s...

Ian Stannard cresting Streatley Hill on this year's T.O.B.

and the magnificent north approach of the Galibier, taken in early June this year, about a week after the pass opened, cyclist unknown.

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

One thing I do like about Fuji is that how they reproduce colours. That photo shows it well.

From this year's Cheam & Morden Hilly 50.

A bright, crisp Winters morning and lots of scenery - cycling just doesn't get better than this.

Aidan, Arthur,

Great shots!

The oldest excuse in the book, "I'm just going to stop here and take a photo".

Great photo though, I think I can actually hear the creaking of handlebars and cranks (or is it knees?).

Is that just a short step away from Friday Street - a bit of road that leaves the A25, drops sharply down and then rises again up that cutting?

(a long time sice I have been there.)

That sounds about right, David.

I've almost thrown-up at the top of there both times I've done it.

We used to do that on a straight block - 42-18 as our lowest gear. My knees still haven't forgiven me.

A couple of favourites from the 'Hell of the Ashdown' last week.

These were taken with my Canon AE-1 35mm SLR 70-210mm zoom lense mostly on f5.6 with auto shutter speed.

I like the lighting on that first one Ivo

clarion · « **Reply #43 on:** 17 February, 2009, 10:14:22 am »

Brilliantly evocative photos, Ivo. You must have been right in the action to get them.

The first one is truly great IMO. Her expression speaks for itself.

She was leading with only a few seconds so riding very concentrated. I was indeed right in the action. I had a photographer's accreditation so I could stand in lot's of places where the crowd couldn't. Of course this sometimes meant jumping away in the last second. The 2nd picture was taken with a fisheye lens pre-focussed to 60cm.

Some extra ones:

I was going to comment on getting such a close up wide angle shot, but you covered it.

The second shot in this group shows someone in Clarion colours

Cyclecross in Heerlen on saturday:

First one is (as previously pointed out) excellent. This one is also very good - but (IMO) significantly improved if you crop out the spectators on the right. With them the eye is distracted. Without them, attention is focussed on the cyclist, especially his expression.
