Yesterday I was watching the Ironman second stage Bicycling contest at Oland, Kalmar in Sweden.
I brought my K5 of course and took quite a few shoots from different places. Bikers kept coming so I got a lot of shots and after reviewing them I kept about 40 of them.
This is one of a bunch were I used slower times with larger apertures. Im not sure but I think I used F8 at 1/90s for this shot.

The lens is a fully converted Canon FD 80-200 F4 L lens. Might be the best zoom ever apart from it not being Pentax and not having AF.
My conversion lets me use it like any K or M lens so I can focus wide open and the lens stops down when I release the shutter.

Anyways.
I like this shot since I think it has speed and joy in it. The guys expression is, well, kind of funny? I can see that he enjoys this fully.


I have processed it in LR and cropped it quite a bit. I originally shot it standing portrait but decided to crop it much tighter.
