PESO - Pre-race Strategy Part II (messenger content)

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

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.

Hope you enjoy. Comments always welcome.

Cheers,
frank

Thanks for your comments, Boris. Much appreciated.

I think I can make the photos on the landing page bigger. They're medium now, I 
know that extra large is too big, so I'll try large and see how that works.

Thanks again!

cheers,

 Racers have very little time to figure out exactly where the

 themselves accordingly. I know when I raced the routing sometimes
 changed mid-race.

 Some like to do this on their own, others work together as Dale and

about 100 to 200 images. Could be a big seller here in July and August.

Re: PESO: Street Race

[Paul Stenquist]

Thanks Jack. Yep, the passenger gives away my dirty little secret:-).  
In truth, the cars are cruising at about 30 mph. It's only their  
relative position and the 1/10th of a second shutter speed that  
create the impression of speed.

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:-)).

No doubt about it.  I call it the Cylinder of Focus.  It's the 
cylinder of points that are in focus throughout the pan.  I've got quite 
a few shots where I got the timing a bit wrong and ended up with the 
rear or the front of the car on the cylinder instead of the driver or 
cockpit, for example.

Great action shot. Right moment caught well. 

Too bad some of the road at the top couldn't be cropped off, but then (to fit 
a standard size) you'd have to crop too much off on the left. I find it a bit 
distracting, but not overly so.

Nice one!

Another great action shot Bruce.

Two things. I hope that he does not have his eyes closed, it looks like he 
does, and i
hope he's wearing 
a cup, for two obvious reasons.

He does have his eyes closed - wish I could remember the outcome of
this one.  And yes, a cup is mandatory for all players in this league.

Thanks for the comment.

Hmmm, yes. Closed eyes make it harder to catch the ball. But great

RE: PESO - The Race

[Shel Belinkoff]

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.

Shel

Bruce,
Another great Little League baseball shot.
The timing is perfect, the outcome is in doubt.

which I like very much!

Nice shot Frank.

I like the angle you used here. Reasonably sharp to.:-)

 first heat, Simone road the course several times, and decided she
 wanted a slightly smaller gear, so she put on a smaller chainring.

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.

Nice shot. You've really refined your tonal values and contrast over

So an alternate title could be Simone gearing up.

really like to see it in color - the bike and jersey beg it.

Paul, Bruce, Ken, thanks for your comments.  Glad you liked it.  CMWC
was a great place to shoot people and bikes, that's for sure!

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,
