Ever Forward

I’ve finally gotten around to uploading the photos I took last year, both during the 2009 Presbyterium Invitational Criterium (bicycle race), and from my trip to the UK.  I still didn’t have my Nikon when I saw the Criterium, so those photos are taken with the Canon Powershot 540.  And no spare battery.  I’ve added photos in the Dunstable Downs and the Saint Albans albums as well.  Those photos are, of course, taken with the Nikon D70s.

Dunstable Downs is, effectively, a chalk hill with a phenomenal view over the area below.  It just so happens that there is a glider  club situated just at the foot of the Downs.  Thus, you will see I’ve caught a few shots of the gliders in their brief flights.  Additionally, you can see a bit of Saint Albans, particularly the Six Bells pub, where my Mom’s husband and I ate lunch.  Then the park, leading to the abby, and the abby itself.  Of course, we had to come back, so a few more shots coming through the park.  Here is a sample of what you’ll find in the 2009 Criterium album:

Did I mention I’m no expert at photography?  The Criterium was my first experiment in sports photography – not at all easy.  Enjoy your browsing!
