**UPDATE** All shots from the 530pm, 6pm and 7pm races are up (plus a few shots of racers pre-riding the course). The gallery is here.
I shot the first Wednesday@Wakefield race of the 2008 season last night. I haven't had a chance to slog through all of the images yet, but I did find this one that I thought I'd throw online as a placeholder. More to come.
Note to self: Flash photography is hard. Trust your f/1.4 lens more next time.

I like it man, sure you can get picky about some shadows or whatever, but very cool image. I think the lighting on the rider is very cool. Can't wait to see the rest.
I say get a remote flash
have the flash on a tri-pod
light them from the side
shoot them from the front
I was at a friends show at IOTA
and well... there were more people with cameras playing photographer than there were people on stage
charlie of city bikes was shooting with a remote flash and getting some serious results
it makes things more interesting instead of blowing them out
Thanks Gwadz. This shot (and most shots from this race) were using a remote flash. It's not a technique I have a lot of experience with, so the results show that. Hopefully I'll get better with off-camera flash as time goes by.
Do you have a link for Charlie's stuff? I'd love to see some examples of how it's done.
