Taking Photos of Cycling

The first thing with taking photos of cyclists. It’s much easier to take photos than it is to edit, upload and put into blog post.

Usually, I make use of Flickr uploader. But, if you want better photos, I find it quicker to do a bit of photoshop than to change all settings on camera. But, it does become time consuming.

The real difference to taking good cycling photos is to get  a camera with reasonable shutter speed. On compact cameras it is just hard to get this. I do have a Panasonic compact I used for a while, but it just doesn’t have a quick enough shutter speed.

With ordinary shooting mode (above), the cyclist moving at around 5mph is a bit blurred. The other photos are taken in ‘sports’ mode. With the Canon 500D this takes advantage of its fast shutter speed.
