PESO - Pre-race Strategy Part II (messenger content)
About five or ten minutes before the start of the race he participants get manifests with the checkpoints (in this case, grocery stores) listed. Then there is a bit of a frenzy as everyone figures out the exact location of the checkpoints and routing: http://mondociclismo.blogspot.ca/2012/12/pre-race-strategy-part-ii.html?m=1 As I mentioned in an earlier post, this race started at Toronto's Eaton Centre, our largest downtown shopping mall.

Re: PESO: Street Race
I know you're responding tongue-in-cheek to Frank's comment. But in truth, when shooting slow-shutter pans of a car, it seems to be most effective when the image is sharpest right in the center. The sharp center is the result of the camera movement matching the speed of that center point. So, yes there are wrong places:-). Although Frank may not concur:-)).

RE: PESO - The Race
Hi Bruce, First, I love the shot and the way you caught the action. You've got a lock on Little Leaguer's facial expressions ;-)) I'll say the same thing as with your previous couple of shots: this one looks a little washed out to me. I'm starting to wonder why there's that consistent pattern. Maybe a scosh too much exposure, ,maybe the Sigma isn't particularly contrasty, maybe your monitor ... but each of the last three or four pics seems to have been able to benefit from a slight taming of the highlights and adding a little more saturation, less brightening, or a slight curves adjustment. Of course, it could be my monitor, but when you've made the adjustments they were obvious here, and looked quite similar to the sample I'd sent you.

Re: PESO - The Race
Bruce, Another great Little League baseball shot. The timing is perfect, the outcome is in doubt. Regards, Bob S. and not another one of those damned flower shots :-) which I like very much!

Re: PAW/PESO: Pre-Race Tweaks
Nice shot Frank. I like the angle you used here. Reasonably sharp to.:-) Dave http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo? photo_id=3564598 Actually, it's how one changes gears on a trackbike g. Before her first heat, Simone road the course several times, and decided she wanted a slightly smaller gear, so she put on a smaller chainring. I actually cropped this one... audible gasp from crowd I always enjoy reading your comments, so feel free to participate. g cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Re: PAW/PESO: Pre-Race Tweaks
I mostly like it. The one thing that bothers me a bit is that her eyes are neither looking at her work or looking at me - the viewer. Kind of like caught in between. Shot just a little earlier or later seems like it might have been better. I do like the angle that you shot at and the general composition. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, July 22, 2005, 3:28:04 PM, you wrote: ft http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3564598 ft Actually, it's how one changes gears on a trackbike g.

Re: PAW/PESO: Pre-Race Tweaks
Nice shot. You've really refined your tonal values and contrast over the last year or so. Good work.

Re: PAW/PESO: Pre-Race Tweaks
So an alternate title could be Simone gearing up. I like it, nicely composed exposed, but being the colorful guy I am, I'd really like to see it in color - the bike and jersey beg it.

Re: PESO Boat race tomorrow
Wow! This one is so cool. The relatively low color saturation works well. The composition is very nice - bridge coming down across the frame and I really like the observers on the upper left. Well done, man! -- Bruce Saturday, March 26, 2005, 12:19:52 PM, you wrote: JF Tomorrow is the annual boat race between Oxford and Cambridge JF universities.
