2010 AMGEN Tour of California

Today I had a chance to shoot some of the first stage of the Amgen ToC. It was an interesting experience, having never shot bicycle racing before - and really never shooting point to point racing. You wait and wait, they ride by in a huge pack for about 5-6 seconds, and then you have to run to the car, get in, and drive far enough ahead to scout a new spot, adjust for crowds, and then wait again.

Overall though, I had fun. I learned a lot and can always stand to improve - next year!

Cordova Track & Field

I had the chance to shoot some high school track and field events today. First time shooting actual field events, as last time it was rained out. 

I have a lot to learn, but I am happy with some of the images, overall. Shooting in high sun when it's about 90 degrees out is not easy, and I am reminded why the best cameras cost the most money.

Enjoy!
