So the last few days have been focused on shooting cycling. It kicked off last Sunday with a warm up race to the UCI Road World Championships. The first time this event has been held outside the Northern Hemisphere. The warm up race was held in Ballarat. This shot was taken with a 400mm with the riders approaching the start/finish line:

Eye-fi card for wireless photography
I got intrigued by Rob Galbraith’s post on Wireless photography with an iPad and ShutterSnitch so I got the bits referred to in his article and am trying to replicate it. Aluratek modem and Eye-Fi cards from Adorama. All good so far…

A-League, WPL and VPL grand final weekend
First weekend with no rain for quite a few weeks. Had a 10.5mm fisheye from Nikon on a D300s body. I was surprised how much better the D3 and D3s is still compared with the D300s sensor. Also shot some of the football with my 1.7 teleconverter. The images were pretty good and nothing beats 650mm for reach!
