HE-
Thanks for the comments. I really enjoy seeing your work. Especially the collection on PBase...makes me homesick for Texas.
I shot that cycling pic at the Redmond, WA Velodrome where they have amateur racing on Friday nights in the summer. I had my 300mm, f2.8 on the body and it was tough getting shots. You basically had to set focus as they pass by on the warm up and hold it until they come back around. Since I was shooting wide-open at 2.8 to freeze the speed, my zone of focus was pretty small..so to get two faces in focus was luck.
Here's my picture of an eel eating a fish... taken during a night dive in Honduras. I have a better one but can't find it at the moment. If I do I'll be sure to post it.
