About:
The Oslo Grand Prix was arranged for the first time. 1,5 hours through the streets of Oslo on a 1 kilometer criterium track. The city was packed with spectators and Thor Hushovd won a big victory.

On Twitter we spoke about meeting and shooting the event, so I got together with Oddne, Øystein and Stian and found a fine spot in one of the corners.
Yesterday I uploaded photos of Thor Hushovd, Lance Amstrong today and Kurt-Asle Arvesen one of the next days :))

Check out the other photos of Lance Amstrong

These guys ride incredible fast around the corner, panning my 40D on 1/15 sec shutterspeed was enough to blur everything out. The flash was then used to freeze the rider :))
Color, saturation and such was enhanced in Lightroom, a little retouching in Photoshop and that was it :))

Discussion
