Starting The Climb

A topical shot from me (you may see a few more), after spending the weekend in Oughtibridge, Sheffield, to see the Tour de France. What a fantastic experience, the place was buzzing with thousands upon thousands of people, great weather and great excitement. Photography was difficult, so much going on, so many people, but I got a few decent ones and managed to get on the telly too!

Nice shot David - I would have waved if I had known you were there. I was on the balccony in the VIP area near the finish line - which would have been a great place to see the finish if the riders had been anywhere except close to the barrier on the left of the track - the one blind spot ...and that was of course where they were.

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Good shot David. The crowd in the background and to the side give it context and balance.

Nice shot David. A thoroughly enjoyable day. I managed to bag a few up on Oxenhope Moor but unfortunately I shot them with a Panasonic so can't show them here!!
