adrenaline rush.. by ltodd

adrenaline rush..

...at the local criterium track.

I am at the finish line on the edge of the track - lying flat on my back, my head level with the whiring pedals that are just 2 feet away, feeling the rush of wind, and the noisy stampede of tyres pounding the bitumen as the riders zoom past at over 40 km per hour!




Wow great shot. Far too brave for your own good!

What a fantastic shot! Love your album!
December 16th, 2012  
wow !! This is a winner--- how did U took this shot-?
December 16th, 2012  
thanks Joey - I used continuous shooting mode & hoped they would not move 6 inches off the track! The next shot taken was even closer & I might make a poster for the boys at the bike shop with it.
It was mighty scarey, but extreme-sports photography to the max!! I can now understand why sports photgraphers love what they do - it is as close as I will ever get to 'the action' at 45 kph on a bike! I actually only went to the races do some speed focussing practice, but am really pleased with a handful of the shots.
December 16th, 2012  
A very brave shot ...with excellent results!!
