The areal pictures are better at showing the complete peloton in full cry winding through the streets than would be possible from ground level.
I love the landscapes.

I really enjoyed these Carl, especially the ones of the front of the peloton in action which I assume you took from the rear window of your team car. I look forward to seeing any from the helicopter if you post them.

These are lovely Ralf. Its an original idea for a theme, so simple yet so effective. I especially like #2, Order, the crop is beautifully sharp and is topped off by a slice of interesting sky.

wonderful images here, in particular I love the seascapes. The distant outline of Bamburgh Castle is superb.

Fantastic set of images of a fantastic event. The use of the 300mm lens+1.4TC has enabled you to pick out close detail and also bunch up the perspective to highlight the drama. With such a long lens combination did to rack up the ISO or did you use a tripod? I would have done the former as I find tripods an encumbrance and they inhibit mobility and quick reaction. To be honest I've not used a tripod in years and don't even own one now. That's not such a problem for me as I don't do bird pictures or macros.
The colour is just great and so is the variety which includes crowd reaction plus sporting action.
I'll not tell anyone you sneaked a photo of a Nikon into this first class set.

PS: Cycle racing is my favourite sport (I used to do a bit in my youth) and I'm glued to the live TV coverage of Le Tour every year, but never more so than the Grand Depart from Yorkshire.

I love the mood and atmosphere of these late-in-the-day shots Carl. Very artistic.

What a fantastic set, I don't have a favourite, they're all superb.

I also like the mono treatment. Very graphic images. I agree with Geordie about the location, Eldon Square and Grainger Market. This is my happy urban hunting ground.
I loved my MX back in film days and wish I'd kept it although I have no plans ever to sue film again.

A lovely set Alan, very well photographed. I couldn't make it on the night - otherwise engaged. DOIK is Durham Photographic Society's ambassador at Durham Cathedral and we have excellent relations with the authorities there. But we still can't convince them that if they followed the example of other major cathedrals in England they could raise a lot of money by issuing photo passes to visitors.
