Today at my Dad's bike shop I had the opportunity to walk around with my girlfriend and watch the annual bike race. This race was exciting because there was a breakaway that ended up lapping the main field and the picture really captures the speed of those riders. I had a relatively slow shutter speed at 1/80 so when I followed the rider with the camera the background got a really pleasing motion blur instead of the rider. A really great technique.
A requirement for the High School I am attending is by the 10th grade I complete a personal project. I decided to take a picture a day for a year to better my photography skills. To keep track of this experience I decided to blog about my photos and therefore my life.
