Series of twelve images showing a hot air balloon being inflated early one morning at The Butts, Ashley Road in Salisbury, during the Autumn of 2008.

The Shot
This is a picture from the final stage of the Tour of Britain held in London Sunday afternoon 22 September.
The race was the last stage of 10. Starting from Whitehall there was a circuit which went along the Thames Embankment road to turn by the Tower of London and then back past Big Ben and back into Whitehall. I based myself on the corner by the houses of Parliament. This is on the last stage and the last corner and Mark Cavendish, 2nd in line, has positioned himself for the final sprint which he won.
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 28-200 zoom at 60mm. The lighting was rubbish but I did a lot of improvements in post processing to lighten the riders and apply a Zoom blur effect to to remove the distracting spectators. There is a big difference between the before and after pictures as shown on my Blog.

Now things are really starting to take shape. Out of all the twelve images this one was my personal favourite. I loved the deep depression on the top of this inflating balloon which creates a very attractive overall shape.

The Shot
I have just returned from a week in France taking in some of the Tour de France stages in Brittany. This was Stage 10 last Tuesday finishing in St Malo. The location was at Cancale about 15 miles from the finish.
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 28-200 zoom at 60mm. The image was opened in Camera Raw and 2 additional images were created at +2EV and -2Ev for a “false HDR” with each image having Noiseware Pro applied. A Photoshop action I had saved was used to create the extra images automatically. The images were saved as tiffs.
The HDR was created using Photmatix. In Photoshop a pan blur was applied using Topaz lens effects. A layer mask was used to remove the blur from Chris Froome in the yellow jersey and the 2 nearest competing cyclists to make them stand out.

I can't recall if it was windy....but it probably was as I do remember a strong wind crossing the motorway.
The Shot
I stayed in London for the weekend of 21 and 22 September first for Open House Weekend and then for the final stage of the Tour of Britain held in London Sunday afternoon.
Before getting on with today’s picture note that on my Blog I have done a write-up on the the Open House Weekend with a preview of some of the unprocessed pictures taken. See Open House Pictures Preview
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 28-200 zoom at 28mm. The image was opened in Camera Raw and 2 additional images were created at +2EV and -2Ev for a “false HDR” with each image having Noiseware Pro applied. A Photoshop action I had saved was used to create the extra images automatically. The images were saved as tiffs.
The HDR was created using Photmatix.Various methods were used to bring out and enhance the riders. Topaz Adjust was used but excluded from the background with a layer mask. The same method was used when applying brightness and contrast and clarity.
The race was the last stage of 10. Starting from Whitehall there were 10 circuits which went along the Thames Embankment road to turn by the Tower of London and then back past Big Ben and back into Whitehall. I based myself on the corner by the houses of Parliament. Not long before the race start about 6 official Agency Photographers settled on the road just in front of me but sitting down for low angles. I decided my choice of location had been pretty good. As expected Bradley Wiggins won the Gold Jersey for overall race winner and Mark Cavendish won the day’s stage.

Moor Park to Elstree
A pleasant walk amongst golf courses with well manicured fairways and and naked trees, and through woodland that has not yet wakened to the spring, with a house or two along the way.
