That's a very nice set, Dave. The 20 shot you've chosen do a nice job in
conveying the story of the race. Good solid work. Cheers, Christine

Subject: GESO: Criterium race
Hi all,
It's been another year already, the Festival of Cycling has come and gone
again.
This year I was only able to make it to the criterium race which is a pity
as the Long Bays Classic has much better scenery. The upside of the
criterium is that they do laps so I get more than one chance to photograph
the riders and I also have multiple positions to choose from.

The first couple are from the elite women's race which was finishing just
as I arrived. The rest are from the elite men's race. The crowd was a
lot smaller this year so I was able to move about quite freely and get
fairly good positions without much trouble.
Gear: K10D, FA* 24mm f/2.0, FA 43mm Limited, FA 100 f/2.8 Macro, FA* 200mm
f/2.8, F* 300mm f/4.5. Yes it's a pain swapping primes all the time.
That 50-135 would have come in very handy.
I really need to get more practice with this stuff. I was really
struggling to get good focus as the riders come past at about 50km/h
(30mph).
BTW I know I haven't posted much from Sydney yet, not enough hours in the
day...
Cheers,
Dave
