Glance Armstrong: The Best-Dressed Cyclist Ever by David McMahon

This entertainer was part of yesterday’s Melbourne Cup Parade. Dressed in top hat and tails, and wearing a stick-on moustache that evokes Oliver Hardy (of Laurel and Hardy fame) he is without doubt the best-dressed cyclist I’ve ever photographed. Using a 300mm lens in a crowd is always an interesting experience. Why? Because the longer the lens, the further away from your body is the camera’s centre of gravity. Hence, you have to concentrate harder on your own sense of balance and the steadiness of your shoulders and hands, in order to produce crisp, clear images. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F5.6, 1/750 sec, ISO 200, 300mm.

About This Group

we are all big kids at heart and nothing says that more than a trip to the fair, coconuts and candyfloss neon lights and fast spinning rides. So come on and add your pictures of and around the whole experience that is the fun fair.
From a technical front, blur and motion capture looks great especially when neon light is involved. Similarly candid shots of people and the variety of emotions that a trip to the fair can evoke are also wanted, additionally images of the seedier side, behind the scenes including people who work and own fairs.
