p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Cyclocross





First time for me shooting a Cyclocross. I have heard the sport is very big in countries like Belgium. Here in Sweden it is still a relative small sport but very entertaining to watch and even more fun to shoot.
The main attraction in the Cyclocross Swedish Championship held in Stockholm, was the womens race. Emma Johansson (Ranked no.1 in the world in "road cycling")
and Lisa Nordén (Olympic Silver medalist in London) decided to participate in Cyclocross. Emma won the race and Lisa finished 6:th.

Here are some pictures from the both the senior men and women race.

Hi Andreas, This is a fantastic set of images. I love the composition of the last image (15), I also think 7 and 8 are really cool. I think your silhouettes did a good job of translating some of the emotion of the cyclists. The only one that doesn't really do it for me is 12. I think there's a lot of lost detail here and we seem to be a bit far away from the action.

Good work! I look forward to more images from you.

EDIT:
I also love the color in 13. It's a great shot!

Thanks for your comments Craig (Filmscribe). I really appreciate that you took your time to comment and gave me nice feedback on both your personal favorites in the set and the images that you didn't like (and why you did not like it). Thats exactly the kind of critique that i prefer.

I see your point in #12.

Best regards
Andreas

Andreas, there are a couple of elements about cyclocross that other cycling disciplines dont experience: the fall & winter weather, which tends to be dismal, yet adds to the flavor to the sport, and second are the spectators, which tend to be more fanatic because it is a very "cultish" sport. Capturing the elements of weather (rain, snow, mud) will add to the drama of the race and the already agonizing 1 hrs the racers experience. Keep shooting and posting!

You captured them all well, even though they are action, I would like to see the flying dirt and grass erased as it pulls my attention away from the subject at times.

Actually, the flying dirt and sand really does make the image(s) work when shooting cycling in action, especially cyclocross. Cross racing is more than just the rider, it's also about the environment the rider(s) are racing in. ;-)
