    At the Track: Velodrome style

    Thought I would take my gf to the Alpenrose Challenge so she could see what track racing was... The track is 42 degrees in the corners. The only thing that truely gives it justification is to ride it. I have done it once and it was the scarest thing I have done in a long time.

    Enjoy, and as usually thoughts and suggestions on how to make my shots better are always welcome.

    Very nice images. Love the second shot. You did a great job showing the intensity and concentration it takes to participate in this sport. Well Done.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Good Stuff!
    I think the first one is the best.
    I like the rider against the stark white background.
    The line is good too!
    The pan was a good choice.

    I really like the first pic too. I agree that track cycling is scary! The fixed gear knocks you forward if you stop moving your legs.
