SHOOTING A CYCLING RACE-LTdL 2008



This is my first endeavour to shoot an inter-national sport event.Before this,I have never shot any sport event-either national or state level events.To make it worse,I still do not how to shoot with my newly bought Canon DSLR 400D.Anyway,I took all my courage that I had at 56 years old and joined my photography sifu Nazley Fadley at KLCC to shoot LTdL Final leg at KL.I expected nothing and what ever I got were bonus of the day.



In a situation like this,I learnt to be a fool.Just follow what other photographers were doing.I looked around where were they located,how they shot and what they shot.What I did not know then was what camera setting they used to shoot.At that time I shot mostly on Auto except when I was taught how to do panning.

I made a lot of mistakes.Here are a few that look good to me.From that day,my interest began to grow but I only get more serious since  about five years ago when I began shooting photos with my Lumix LX5 during my cycling in Putrajaya.As they say,the rest is history.
