Project 52 – Week 9: The Calm Before the Storm

March 8, 2010

Chloe and I headed to watch the OCBC cycle thingy because Alex had gotten a slot last minute courtesy of an extremely serendipitous visit to the pub. While hanging out by the track with someone a friend had introduced to me earlier on, Chloe did some snappy snappy and got her first taste of sports photography. Which she (and I) decidedly does not like.

Ok, I’ll admit, I don’t like sports photography. Maybes its just me but I think my life is fast moving enough and the camera is a chance to slow it all down and catch the slow moments. In other words, my skill level isn’t there to capture people moving above 30km/h with any kind of decency at all.

But, Chloe got this one shot and while its not too terrific, I love it because it was the very moment of silence before the assorted race hoopla and finally, the riders came through.
