I sold my 20D, maybe that was a mistake! ;-( I would rather shoot the race with an 800mm lens from the coffee shop across the street. ;-) I kind of like some of my massed shots of Lance Armstrong running in the race. You get to see the fact that he was running behind a motorcycle equipped with a dozen cameras and surrounded by a huge entourage. It must be some sort of torture to have every step of your race covered by cameras. But, he is used to it... Regards, Larry -------- Larry K, I don't know, but when I photograph mass road races I'm using something near 400mm on an SLR that predictively autofocuses at 8 frames a second. I find a runner, wait until they fill 3/4 of the frame and fire 2-5 frame bursts timed to when the front foot is coming down. Usually, the first frame shows them in the air, the second frame has the front foot on the ground and the fifth frame has the front leg passing to the rear. Don don.dory@gmail.com
