Stage 7- Amgen tour of California

What's up guys?! This weekend was a lot of fun, I shot the 2009 Tour of California! It was real cool seeing the legend himself, Lance Armstrong, ride right past me with a camera in my hand. It was nice to see how much publicity that was behind him, And how much support their was. This particular year I was going for the more scenic shots, although I understood the risk of having only ten seconds or so to try and capture a nice frame. I drove 2/3 of the entire route to find a scenic spot with some good action. I found an amazing spot where if I looked one way I got the scene of the event, in which the riders would ride around a loop and then come past me for the tight action shots that I captured from above.Literally there was only about 20 seconds of shooting. Next year I have hopes of getting on a media motorcycle to cover the event throughout the week. I will have more opportunities and more time to get great photos. Well it's late and I am tired, enjoy!
