franklinh Posted June 26, 2006 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was pedalling across the Pyrenees the same time as Lance won his Sixth in 2004. I will remain in Seattle as a web and TV spectator this year just when the field is wide open. Will it be Ullrich, Basso, Landis, Hincapie, Leipheimer or ? on the podium in Paris. The Tour starts on July 1,. This is my appeal to forum members to post Tour de France Photos of the Cyclists, the Event, and spectators using Leica Cameras, better known as Leica Spotting (maybe biased towards Ullrich and T-Mobile?) Your feelings about a particular published photo from the Tour could even be an "excuse" to rant about cycling and the Tour! So will anyone be attending (and posting?)

Advertisement Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Hi franklinh, Take a look here Tour de France Photos and Leica Spotting. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
abrewer Posted June 26, 2006 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2006 Hi FF! Sadly, I won't be going...but you have a terrific idea going here. Vino is my guess. He's been gathering momentum for some time now. With Lance gone, he should be primed to go forward for good. What web outlet have you found that is good to follow Le Tour? OutdoorLife's TV coverage is super, but I can't rely on that at work!!! Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bernd Banken Posted June 26, 2006 Share #3 Posted June 26, 2006 Hi, this is a great idea to collect informations. Even the camera I used last year to catch Ivan Basso isn't a Leica (sorry, I bought mine in April), Ivan looks good I think. The camera was an old Minolta Dimage S3, 3 MP with a response time like the Amoco Cadiz ;-) Pls. excuse this issue :-) ..and here you get an impression how it sounds when you hit the track of the "prolog": http://homepage.mac.com/balise/iMovieTheater42.html just look Regards Bernd Welcome, dear visitor!

franklinh Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted June 27, 2006 What an interesting photo Bernd of Basso. You also caught how scary and dangerous is the videographer's job during the tour. Image standing and balancing on a moving motorcycle..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
