Manchester Velodrome Revolution 26
Saturday the 5th of December found me back at the Velodrome in Manchester taking picture for the guys who bring us the Revolution Race Series.
Coupled with this I had a commision for a few shots for a National newspaper to be taken at about 7 pm and to be with them for 8pm. No pressure then.
Anyway the evening went smoothly. Good to see some old friends there, and of course to see some of the stars of cycling in action.
A full report on the evenings racing can be found at the Revolution website.
One of my favourites from the night.

My Favourite Manchester Velodrome Track Cycling Photo
I’ve just been looking back through some old pictures and came across this one. Taken at Manchester velodrome last year at one of the track cycling revolution meetings.
My client liked a similar shot that I’d taken at the world track champs earlier in the year.
A photo that took numerous tries to get. Low light and therefore slow shutter speeds, coupled with the cyclists movements did not make this shot an easy one to get. Handheld at 1/60th of a second too.
Nevertheless, I think my persistence paid off. I don’t think I could have got a sharper shot.
