Tour de France - Prologue

That was awesome!

So I didn't get to see all of the race, but the prologue was so much fun. I've put a bunch of the pictures up online here:

I think that my favorite photo is this one:



Also, I officially love this camera. I took 300 pictures before the race even started. And another 200 after that.

    Ahhh! I'm so jealous! I was thinking about you when I was watching the prologue yesterday...wondering if I could see you sticking out in the crowd! Hehe.

    I'll probably be lost in the crowd of 1 million (at least according to the estimates).

    I was thinking about just setting up a spot close to the barricade and shooting from there about an hour and a half before the start, but I realized that all of my pictures would have the exact same background. So I started walking along the route from the start to about 4 kilometers in when the race began. I managed to squeeze into a space close to the barriers to get a few shots of the racers zipping by.
