CYCLOCROSS RACING M9 pics / I'm SLOWLY getting more comfortable with digital workflow

It seems as though my transition from an all film workflow to a mostly digital one over the past year, has been a tedious and frustrating experience at times. I think I'm gaining some more comfort with it, but it's slow going. I thought I'd share a few images from a current series on cyclocross racing in Texas. I've been practicing a lot as I have a big event coming up in a couple weeks and I need to get more efficient and confident. Happy to hear any similar experiences or critique.

#1 is terrific, and the rest are quite nice.

Hi Andy

 

These come across as really good reportage and great examples of 'capturing the moment'. I particularly like the framing, which adds a dynamism to the images.

 

I particularly like the way that you've adapted the medium of the forum to make for a nice presentation.

 

Really like the website too.

 

As an aside, unless I'm very much mistaken, I believe I have your Dad's 1.5 Summarit, which lives safely and well looked after here in the UK and hops onto my 111f Red Dial and digital cameras from time to time .

Thank you for noticing the framing. Composition/framing is something I obsess over, both in camera and in post.

Good to hear! I believe I once owned that or another one of my dad's old Summarits. Perhaps I sold this to you some years ago? Maybe sometime around 2006-08?

Nice reportage shots, As a cyclist I feel them all.

Regarding merging from film to digital, isn't the opposite way that should be difficult!

Andy, welcome, Frankly, I liked them all. The first is diffently a keeper.

 

Expect to see more of your work

Exactly right

 

Ps. My favourite image in the set is #5 (bottom left) which for me is a first rate head and shoulders portrait.

I'd go for #1 and #5 as well, excellent reportage and black-and-white work. You certainly have a handle on the work-flow.

 

I agree about the tedious digital work flow, one of the reasons I still stick to film, when feasible.
