The Lone Breakaway Attempt

This picture is from the 2008 Tour Down Under. I spent the entire day at Glenelg getting shots of the racer presentations, bikes, crowd, and of course the race. This was the pre-tour criterium through Glenelg and the blokes were rounding this corner at 35 to 40 kph. It was also my first time using the high-speed shooting feature on the Fuji FinePix S6500fd and I was very pleased with the results. As long as the camera is held steady it'll stop the action quite easily. Photo by Dave
