Photos from the Thursday TT's

Post by photoBen »

I am in the process of joining Clifton CC, but some of you may have seen me already, at the side of the road with a camera.
I have photos from three weeks TT's and the first one's are online now and can be seen here:

More to be added over the summer.

I don't mind anyone using any of the images for personal use (saving to their computer or screensavers) but prints are available for a very reasonable price.

Cheers.

Nice shots PhotoBen.
A tad more "arty" than usual offerings.

Particularly like the one with Joe-public completely ignoring Arnie's extreme suffering!!

I think they are excellent.

Sort of thing those Rapha boys put out in their expensive magazine. I think you should send a couple in - really capture the spirit of club and events.

Good pictures Ben. Here are a few more conventional shots from the Regionals and yesterday's Nationals - look out for Kit, Charlie and Paul.

Also one from last Thursday's Spoco - Mac is modelling what all the best dressed marshalls are wearing this year

Thanks for the comments.

The pictures from the Divs make it look every bit as hard as it really was!
Particularly like the one of Charlie on the left turn at the top of Terrington Bank looks like he's riding through a monsoon and the one of Jamie Sharpe on Bulmer Bank looking like he's about to have a baby! Quite like the couple of myself - one on Bulmer with former National 100 mile TT champion Ray Eden (that was the year Clifton organised - Centenary year 1995) gritting his teeth to close the gap (I had to get away - well I was having me picture taken!) - I'll have to have that one framed. I presume the other is on the Ganthorpe road, Steve . I tell people at work I just turn up to races these days - perhaps I should have that on the office wall to prove otherwise?

Bulmer Bank - Yorkshire cycling would be a poorer place without it!

Just read the tags - taken with a Holga?

A holga is an all-plastic point and shoot camera that uses medium format film. It gives photos a distinctive look but can be a little hit or miss sometimes.
