Guardian Camera Club: Eebygumcaptain on cycling

Manchester Velodrome #5. Taken from the top of the track (standing on a chair) looking down to the bottom of the corner - which made it difficult to pan as the riders came around the bend. I like this one of the perfect posture of the cyclist, his body shape merging into the frame of the bike, and the contrasting panned deep blue of the track apron. Canon EOS 450D 1/25 F5.6 ISO 200.

Manchester Velodrome #4. Taken from the top of the track (standing on a chair) looking down to the bottom of the corner - which made it difficult to pan as the riders came around the bend. You get a feeling for the curvature of the track on this image, the race and pursuit and I love the distinctive outline of the leading leading riders wheels. Canon EOS 450D 1/30 F3.5 ISO 200.

Manchester Velodrome #6. Like this panning shot for the grit and determination you see on the central cyclist. Captured in RAR, no changes made apart from cropping to give a better balance and to take the main focus to the left off centre Photograph: eebygumcaptain/Flickr

Manchester Velodrome #3. One of my favourite panning shots because of the contrast between the yellow and blue; and it captures the fixed upper body of the cyclist and power driving through the legs.

Manchester Velodrome #2. One of my favourite panning shots because of the contrast between the yellow and blue; and it captures the fixed upper body of the cyclist and power driving through the legs.

Manchester Velodrome #1. This picture tries to capture the shape of the velodrome and the speed of the riders; I like the fact that it has come out as more exploded view of the centrally tracked cyclist rather than the traditional panned shot.
