Tour de CA_Lance Armstrong

This past weekend was the Tour de California leg that went past our little town. Having never shot action before, I was in for a huge shock as to how difficult it was. I was only 10 feet from the action, and thus my shots were slightly out of focus! LOL, I just kept firing away, because it was so exhilarating to see these professionals fly by at such high speeds. It was over in a second, so could not adjust my settings:

 

Canon 50D

lens = EF 17-40mm

ISO 400

f/ 10.0

1/500 speed

Subject distance: 3.7 m

 

I decided to add a filter because I was not thrilled with the lack of focus. But thought is was fun that I captured Lance Armstrong, so had to post!
