Lucky enough a cycling 'tour' passed through the area where I live, so I took the opportunity to shoot some photos. I used a 200mm Nikkor, and with Velvia (50) it was hard to get fast shutter speeds. So most pics are a bit darkish....oh well. Anyway, I'd really like to see/read your comments on the following: - What's the best way to correct the darkest and lightest parts of the photos ? The background isn't really black....I can't seem to get it right in photoshop (levels & curves). So I need advice :) It's a scanned slide, from a photo CD (Kodak). - Also, does anyone have any comments on the subjects ? The best way to get them well positioned was to aim for the middle of the corner. But the result is that the car shots are sharp, but the cyclists in front the large group (that already passed the point I aimed at) are incredibly blurred. But in my view not blurred enough to give them the idea of 'speed'. Anyone like to comment on anything they see and like/don't like ? Perhaps someone has done these things before......I've shot car races before, but not many action shots. (not during a busy race, mostly practice).
