Team Clif Bar Cyclists at the Tympani Crit
I was able to take a few shots of my co-worker, Alden, and his teammates at the Tympani Criterium this past weekend. I had never taken road bike racing shots so I thought this would be a good chance to try it out while watching Alden race.
It wasn't as easy as I thought as I initally had a hard time picking out the TCB cyclists out of the crowd. It was a good thing that the course was a big loop so I had a few chances to get them as they took their laps. You need to be able to pick out the riders and shoot fast. Either that or just shoot everyone and and hope you got some good shots of your intended subjects along the way. I'll definitely need a lot more practice to approach the kind of shots you see in the cycling magazines. :^)
