I have not been doing much photography in the past few weeks, but was volunteering (as a Marshal) for Tour De Tamborine this morning (options 76km cycle, 26km cycle, 10Km cylce/run/walk, 5km cycle/run/walk). Apparently arond 1200 participants in all (last year around 650), these photo's are of the 76km participants approx 10km from the finish line.

Shot with the D700 and 50mm f1.8

Geoff - these are both excellent shots - I prefer the position of the rider in the first however.

Nice primary colors on the second Geoff. You have good technique!

What did being a Marshall involve?

Directing participants, providing encouragement and where necessary provide assistance. Oh and take photos when I could but that was for me and not part of the role.

Great action photos. I like the colours and the sense of
movement in them.

Some superb panning technique you to there. Love the first in particular.
The framing and crop is perfect.

Thanks Chris - my preference is the first too. As for the panning technique - I was pleased with the results here but rest assured there were a higher percentage of shots that went straight to the recycle bin than there were keepers!
