Cambridge Sun and Bikes

I had my Fuji compact fitted with a wide-angle lens attachment today on a trip into Cambridge and was attracted by the bright sunshine playing on the buildings and the cyclists coming through the spotlights. I extended this study to parked bicycles and a couple of other popular transport vehicles, the pink scooters  and the hired punts on the river.

Mallory Park

A few images from Mallory Park Historic Motocycle Racing. Unfortunately the meeting was cut short by an accident so I only shot from one position with no experimentation on shutterspeed, backgrounds or light direction.

Bikes and Scooters at Santapod

XFest at Santapod today was an extravaganza of wheeled stunts from the microscooters through BMX bikes, motorbikes to jet powered racers. As I was collecting Phil on my way back from Birmingham, I only had my G12 compact - not the ideal camera for the task but eventually got the hang of predicting where the bike etc would be after the shutter lag.
