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.

An Arriva Trains Wales Sprinter DMU, 150217, on the Manchester Piccadilly to Milford Haven service, passes through the wonderful rural setting of Pontrilas in south Herefordshire, half a mile from the border with Wales. There used to be a railway station here which closed in 1958 and is now a B + B.
The charming little signal box at Pontrilas has been in operation for 134 years dating back to 1880. It is a McKenzie and Holland design which had 42 lever frames in 1910 but now only has 14 operating levers. Nevertheless, it is an important signal box that controls frequent passenger traffic passing along the Welsh Marches Line and controls an important northbound loop, which acts as a relief line for freight traffic.

The 22-mile Sprinter service is operated by North County Transit District, linking Oceanside with Escondido, via 13 intermediate stations. The service is characterised as hybrid rail, combining the characteristics of light- and commuter rail. Opening in 2008, the Sprinter rolling stock comprises 12 Siemens VT642 Desiro DMUs. This unit carrying an unsightly advertising wrap is seen arriving at the Escondido Transit Center at the southern terminus of the line.
The proof that the My Tiny Sprinter is indeed 1/76 scale. Its dimensions are all but identical to those of the Siku version on the right, which although not actually advertised as 1/76 is exactly the same width and height as Northcord's genuine 1/76 model on the left. The Northcord represents a longer-wheelbase vehicle so it is correctly longer than the other two.

With more than a passing interest in Ice Cream vans, not just due to the product they sell, but that helps, I couldn't resist this shot of a 2001 Mercedes Sprinter in modern day Mr Whippy livery taken in The Quarry Shrewsbury today. In the background is St.Chads church built in 1792 with its distinctive round shape and high tower which was designed by the Scottish architect George Steuart. The churchyard was used in the filming of the 1984 film "A Christmas Carol" and the gravestone of Ebenezer Scrooge still remains. The half-timbered building behind the van is the Quarry Lodge which was the home or renowned TV Gardener Percy Thrower between 1946 and 1974 whilst he was Shrewsbury Borough Council's Parks Superintendent
Sprint: Leeds focused on how the Government Digital Service and local authorities, including Leeds City Council, can work together to make things better for users.
