Was really excited to go up to London and watch the Prologue to this years Le Tour. As well as soaking up the atmosphere at one of the worlds bigget sporting events it also gave me a chance to expand my photography skills. This was the first time attempting panning shots

The crowds were amazing, top marks to everyone who turned out, and on the anniversary of the 2005 bombings it was a fantastic way to show what being British is all about.

Anyway, here is my pick of 3 memory cards!!

Great selection. Gives the viewer a feeling for what the athlete has to give and what it must be like to witness the event! :thumbs:

Nice!

You got a much better vantage point than I did - would have loved to have a bash at some side on ones like your last - top notch capture!

Cheers,
James

I love these shots, crisp rider with blurred crowd, really feel the speed of the bikers. As a former triathlete, i have seen many images of bikes but these are up there! Makes me want to dust off the bike and feel the wind in my hair. Well done.
