Sprinters Warming Up
This is a shot I took earlier this year - May 2013. It's in Manchester City Centre. Christophe Lemaitre is leaping out of the blocks. Dwain Chambers is getting ready; preparing himself before getting down into the blocks.
I'm posting this up to kind of remind myself to go again next year, and so that I can think about what lens to use next year, and what kind of shots I want to try. This is quite a crop from a 24mm lens, on a DX camera. I might go for 50mm next year, and get a bit closer in.
I really enjoyed watching the sprinters warming up. They look so calm and serene when they run. I blogged about my experience earlier this year:

The raised track gets you really close and low. It's a great angle to work with.
The light is not so good though. The race is through the streets, with large buildings blocking the sun on either side.
