2019 250-365 Moon over the Hub
Up at 5.30am to get to Swinley Forest, near Bracknell. Spent the whole day photographing a mountain bike Enduro race (Swinduro).
I was hoping to stay on for the night race to get some light trails and rear curtain flash, but it was running late, and I still have to drive home. Also, the marshalls were debating when the next medical problem would stop the race, and I didn't want to be the cause of that, despite planning to point the flash in the direction the rider was going.
I'd already witnessed one of two stops for shoulder injuries: a collar-bone fracture in a nasty fall, and there was apparently a shoulder dislocation shortly after on the next stage; between them causing a 2 hour delay to proceedings.
This Moon had just risen over the race Hub area, where the podiums were just about to happen for the day race.
