Hi all, Another batch of photos from this week's race. Similar stuff to last week but I think the photos are better this time around. Not that I'm blowing my trumpet or anything.
I was better prepared for the lighting conditions so I paid a bit more attention to the backgrounds. None of the photos presented challenges in Photoshop which was a pleasant surprise. The K10D light meter really couldn't have done much better. Unfortunately the weather was overcast again - probably not a bad thing as I'd otherwise be shooting towards the sun. But it was quite dim and I was really fighting to get acceptable focus / dof with the 200mm lens. A few of the pics I chose were still a bit soft but at this small size it doesn't show too badly. My editing was made much easier by the amount of badly focussed photos :( <http://www.multisport.net.nz/photos/700-2010-02-11-frontrunner-surf-n-turf-photos.html> Please note that I've upgraded the slideshow software since last week and browsers tend to cache javascript files a little too aggressively. If the main image doesn't appear, hold down "shift" and click the reload button in your browser. This should tell the browser that you really do want to reload everything, not just the things it thinks should be reloaded. I've added slideshow controls now so it's a bit less fiddly to browse through. My next plan is to add numbers to the images, then to revamp the template to allow a much larger main image. On Saturday I'm going to try and be at the finish line of the Coast to Coast. The weather forecast is quite bad so I'll see what I can do.
