I love that you still included the shots where you missed focus and the part where you missed taking your dark slide out. Really a genuine behind-the-scenes look at the process and you still came away with amazing photos and looks like everyone had a great time!
Having shot many bike races myself I am so impressed with how well you captured the race. Shooting a bike race is a daunting challenge unlike any other discipline in photograph. I know exactly that feeling when you've captured a magical moment in a bike race and deliver the print to the bike racer. The feeling is just magical and your image lives on.
You did a really good job of capturing the action and atmosphere. Even the shots that didn't turn out, communicate this as well. I recently did my first event photography for a memorial motorcycle ride. I usually do more methodical landscape and nature photography, so the experience got me try out doing something faster paced for change. I'm also a cyclist myself. I love gravel riding! I really want to see what kind of work you do with bike race photography in the future. Many photographers have made entire careers out of photographing bike races.
Tilly - as an EU person, visiting America is not a common visit for me - but! Later this year I'm coming to NYC for a gig, and staying for a whole week! I love city photography, however, previously, I've only done it on DSLR. I have a film camera, and I *REALLY* want to shoot on film (aswell as taking my DSLR for a bit of comfort!) - I would really love to know what your recommendation might be in terms of film for my first time shooting 35mm in the big city?
Black and white is very forgiving and captures NYC very well. I would say buy inexpensive b&w film and shoot with the intention of capturing moments that are important/memorable to you. I love Ilford HP5, but prices have gone up on that one, so maybe try Kentmere 400. Hope you have a great trip!
The audio jack on my camera has started to fail. I apologize for the sound not being wonderful, working on a fix. Thanks for watching!

We are all human. 💛
Shooting photography with Josh Scott would be a dream come true!
I loved the race recap! You captured the essence of the day perfectly! I hope to see you out shooting the next race!

This made my day! So many great memories and so many great shots! The finish line shot is unreal!
