I like to ride my bicycle...
Taken @ Quezon Memorial Circle, Manila, Philippines

Warming up...

Forget Gatorade! I wanna beer! Follow that beer delivery truck!

Birds of the same feather...

Spiderman's bike...

Parked...

Body by Herbalife...

Pondering his strategy. Now what would Lance do?

No newbie...

You with the long lens, you like my cool shades huh?!

Shucks! You mean I need one of em fancy helmets to race???!!!

runner10 · 14th December 2006

Let's get it on!!!

I think this yellow jersey & blue helmet makes me look fat...

Hey fatso. That Lance outfit you got there is nice but once the race starts, it bye bye time.

In the zone.... he's looks like he is all business!

Like I said.... thanks. I love taking them.
Here are more of 'em snap shots.

Competitors on the track. Best buds off...

The mailman on his day off...

Game over...

Lance having a meal...

runner10 · 15th December 2006

More snap shots...

Team MCC... heading home.

Thirst quenched...

He may be old but he sure gave those young ridders a run for their money...

Lance will never be seen alive or dead wearing Sidis, and Colnago-branded socks.

Could I enquire, what's a "ridder"? Your captions border on "cheesy", but if that's what you really like. Showing multiple photos of cyclists' backsides, and showing them on a forum isn't really an orthodox past-time, you know...

Thanks sehuan! Glad you liked them.

Hehehehe... I knew you would bite.

Hey if you don't like my snap shots, why even click on the thread to begin with?
Pssssst.... guys & gals, let's see if he falls for this one.....

dslang · 15th December 2006

whoa it's sehsuan!!! long time no see! didn't you give up photography years ago?

runner10: your ideas are there, but you need more practise. there is potential! just try to focus on the raw emotion more than randomly pointing your lens at faces and asses and clicking the shutter button.

also, you might want to take a few lessons in photoshop. this will give you a lot more control over how your final images turn out. these images make me feel like you want to do a lot more but your PS skills are hindering you from getting there.

pictures #1-#4 if u can shoot infront of them n try panning will be great... ur runner portrait are great shoot with a good len.. thx for share..

runner10 · 16th December 2006

joey91 & dslang,

Thank you very much for your constructive criticisms & valuable inputs. Now that's the type of comments I like getting. It shows that you know your photography -- unlike some people who makes comments on spelling, captions, shoes and socks. Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Thanks again. I appreciate them very much.

more frontal shots will be good, esp those on the bikes..
u take too many back shots which is very uninteresting, no facial expression, like he likes to ride? how u know? his face expression could be showing some form of torture expression from the cycling?

sehsuan · 16th December 2006

Constructive?

Sure.

Just trash the first few photos that show ONLY the backsides of the riders.

Odd, if you know me as you claimed, you would have been expecting me to come with this message.

Glad to be of help.
