:-).
Taking some pics at a road cycle race this evening, and wanted to get an angle with the cyclists and a roadsign in the frame on a corner.
A couple of lapped single cyclists came around the corner and from those quick shots I figured I'd have to stand in the middle of the road...
Seemed like a good idea at the time. Until the two faster bunches came through.
Animated gif (800k).
This is all the frames I shot on the corner...
Next time I'll stand further back, and use a bigger lens!!!
Cheers, Me.

Hahaha....I've seen things like this before! Luckily you weren't on the front end of a bike at some stage there! Then again, I've seen worse with photographers standing in front of race cars etc who come off a little bit worse!! Thanks for sharing!
EDIT: I'm curious to know if you copped any abuse for standing there?

Forgot to say... I did get one useable shot for the paper as well.. Have to do a little work on it though, it was a shadowy spot..
And I was expecting some abuse, but all I got was 'Cheers' from one of the guys as he went past...
I was a fair distance from the corner, so they all saw me well before they got to me but when I realised they were heading straight for me I got a little worried!
