I was doing a publicity event for my book [url= http://www.velopress.com/books/fat-tire-flyer/ [/url][i]Fat Tire Flyer[/i][/url] close enough to the start of the second stage of the Amgen Tour of California that a few of us drove down to catch the start in Nevada City.

When I got there I ran into my brother from another mother, frame builder Chris Kelly. He gave me the keys to the kingdom, a laminate that got me inside the barriers. The leader jerseys were introduced, Mark Cavendish wearing yellow and Peter Sagan wearing polka dots. I took a lot of snaps of them as they stood next to each other, but this one seems to have caught a moment.

Pleased they came out as well as they did, considering I stripped & cleaned the lens myself.

LR CC? No, I rather detest the subscription model for Adobe's products now, since as a student I get/got a decent discount on the non-CC stuff (which I own for life, handy when my money runs out).

Yeah CC 2015. I know what you mean about the subscription model but as I do it as a business I don't mind as much and obviously it goes down as a business expense. I get a discount too as I do some work for an educational charity.

There's a LR and PS only deal which isn't very much - I think about £11 per month.

Aye, fine if you have a regular income, but when I stop being paid in a few months that £11 can buy a fair number of baking potatoes and beans 😉

Gotta love a nice wide view

Taken while getting a nasty dose of sunstroke, marshalling an infants' road race.

Tried to post this from the phone last night, but there doesn't appear to be a way to get the link!
Anyway, took this last night when I parked the car by the pub. Really pleased with how it came out, a bit grainy, but it's more like high ISO film grain than digital noise, and the colour's pleasing. Shows Jupiter and Venus together.
