Triathlon picture preference (Page 2)

Better pace booty in the background of the second one. Agree with Aaron.

First one....its all about the bike porn

Another vote for the first pic

I like the full side (orthogonal) shot.

Is it just me, or does the guy in pic #2 look like he's spewing something?

Maybe that's why I like pic #1.

First one

the 90 degree shot but from the other side so I can see what gear I was in

first one. Its nice to see the bike

The only problem with narrowing the depth of field is that with athletics it is hard to get a crisp shot in focus and blur the background. True I can get the action to stop better with a faster shutter speed (I usually use 1/2000), but it is harder to get the athlete and bike in crisp focus. I can get the background to blur better by slowing down the shutter speed but then it also shows movement in the legs and wheels (I would think you would want to show off those 2 grand wheels on a photo) but keeps the rider trunk and bike frame in focus. It is more of an artistic shot.

Anyway, I give away my photos and do not charge (for now at least). I love the sport and photography, so I am just having fun. Thanks for all the responses.

Nice catch. He was releiving himself of gatorade or cytomax or something.

#1 for me. Where's the overhead shot?

#1 for me too, I like for critiquing body position and such.

Another vote for the #1 side shot....

Definitely #1 for me

First one.

Don't know about angles.. but #1 cause it is an elite

Side shot. Shows how good (or bad) your aero position is.
