Part of the weekend celebration of my only granddaugher's first birthday was attending my first pro bike race, the Twilight Criterium in Athens, Ga. A fun event! They raced a circuit right through Athens at about 40mph (I think that was the speed). So, camera in hand, I tried to practice my speed shots and blurs. This is one. Light was difficult because it was already 9 pm when they started.
Nikon D40x, 1/13th sec, F4, 1600 iso 24mm no flash, hand held, cropped about 25%.
I am wondering if the whole thing is just too blurry or if there is enough contrast between the slower bikers in the back and those blurring in the front to give the idea of the bursts of speed encountered.
