Nup, same lens - I don't quite have the $3k required for the 70-200mm
f2.8... yet - but I am getting better with the flash and post-
processing.

Yeah, it wasn't by choice, security were telling people along the
"fence" to "move along please". I actually think that by moving around
more than I usually do, the variety of shots made it better (and way
more fun to shoot).

Guys in the office said the same thing 🙂

I really like the ones with Anna and the flag (she looked roight at me!)
and the Madison boys (so did they!) especially the one with the other
guys camera in the bottom left of shot.

Here's a small selection of my images from the final day of the UCI Track World Championships,
held at Vodafone Arena, last week:

I think the better lighting at this event has contributed to the better
looking shots. I could not believe how much light was on the track for this
event. Usually on this track I would ride in clear lenses because yellows I
found to be a little on the dark side. (Note: CSV rules do not allow riders
to wear dark lenses on indoor tracks). On saturday night when I was there I
noticed that many riders were using dark lenses (which must be allowed under
UCI rules) so it must have been pretty bright down at track level.

This venue costs a lot to hire so the local promoters, Cyclists
International, don't usually go for things like turning the airconditioning
on, or opening up the whole stands on both sides for spectators unless there
is demand. It was good to see the VA showing off it's facilities to the
fullest during these Championships.

what! no more Kerrie? 😉

I didn't want Les Murray (or security) leaping off his chair at me mid-
broadcast to protect the honour of his fellow commentator 🙂
