As you know Sunday was the 94.7 Cycle Race, which gave me the opportunity to take the M9 out again!
As usual I tried some "not so ordinary" shots with the M9. This shot was taken against the sun in order to get the silhouette-type of image. I tried a lot of shots at F 2.5, witch was not so easy and successful some of the times, how-ever when I got the shot right it is really something different.
More than 25 000 cyclist start from 06:00 a.m. in batches to tackle the 94.7 km through the streets of Johannesburg, over highways and past all sorts of suburbs that can only be found in a diverse city witch is the economic capital of this rock called Africa!
From a bridge over the highway were-under the cyclists pass.
At the water-spots there was loud music and support from the spectators. Because they start in batches and continue riding until the cut-off time at 16:00 p.m. the event pretty much brings the city to a standstill for the day.
I tried a few panning shots...
A bunch of golden-oldies came past...
A shot into the sun to get the lovely flare the 50 mm are so renowned for...
And just to anger the purest I made this in Photo Shop...
With a off-camera speed-light and the city in the background...
