Geelong Tour 09
Taken from the Geelong Tour Cycling Event.
This particular shot was taken near the enterance to the Geelong Botanical Gardens.
Great Geelong weather today made for great light for the
photos.
... it amazes me how rude we can all be at times. Today whilst at this event, I was witness to some rude and aweful behavior directed toward volunteer officials for this event! Some people were most put off that they could not drive their cars along the road beside the East Geelong Golf Course and around the Botanical Gardens. That fact that a racing event was on, meant nothing, and the way the officials were spoken to, it was embarrasing, in the end Police on motorcycles had to come in and sort out those that were making public arses of themselves!...

I like your “attack” on this Peter, most people would avoid shooting directly into the sun and the slight curve on the view to the left adds that sense of “hard work ahead” for the cyclist
Peter Redmond replied
Thanks John.. I think my white shirt and my ever decreasing hairline bounced some of the sunlight back on the riders! :-)
Jamie Ruter
great work peter? i thought you where just trying to get some sun on those legs? the final effect is fantastic.
Peter Redmond replied
Thanks Jamie… my legs will never see the sun:-)
Cathy Middleton
Wonderful shot – love it! Wicked shadows too. The angle works perfectly, and gotta love a fisheye shot.
Paul Moore
Great shot Peter, really looks like they are doing it tough under the heat of the sun!
Peter Redmond replied
Hi Paul, it does look that way, and I can tell ya… it was getting a little warm in the beautiful winter sun!
