Hi Everyone, thank you for all the entries to the NEED FOR SPEED competition.
It proved to be a very popular theme again and we received a lot of entries.
The winning shot was awarded to Richard Hill – Congratulations!
Richard Hill – “Peloton”. The picture was taken in London on Victoria Embankment, shuter speed: 1/13, aperture: f14, ISO: 160, at 26mm (18-55mm kit lens). It was trial and error as the cyclists took laps of a race, and I fancied trying something a bit different to the standard pan as I was a bit too close to the action to for that to work out well.
