_03/07/10_ IronBruin Bicyclist This morning I stopped by the IronBruin triathalon that occus on the UCLA campus - 3 of my coworkers made up a relay team. Sadly, I didn't see any of them. But, I did see and photograph quite a few other triathletes. I used this opportunity to practice my panning technique - I tried to follow bicyclists at this intersection as they made a turn. It's hard, I definitely need more practice. Out of about 80 shots, only a handful turned out sharp enough to not be throw-aways. This was my favorite out of those, which was taken at 1/80 second. Most of the other ones I did were at 1/50 second which seems to be too slow, at least at my current skill level. I'll have to find more things to practice on... I also did edit the shot a bit to further soften the background, in addition to the motion blur from panning. And for the record, I have no idea who rider #431 is :) [last year]
