Here are a few more random shots. I am not sure if you can really tell the steep grade of this hill. In some of the pictures you can but not all.

I was shooting with just my 70-200mm lens. I was shooting wide open to get the fastest shutter speed possible. I did not have any filter on the lens. I should, but I bent the rim of my lens a while back and I cannot get a filter on.

I did also have my short lens, but I did not shoot much with that. I did get some of the crowd shots with that one. I posted some of those in a previous post.

These guys rode for about 150 miles over the course of the day. I am sure it was a tough race. I know I was tired just walking up the “Wall”

In the picture above you can really get a sense of how steep this street is. The picture below, not so much.

I decided to test out my new Canon 50D at the TD Bank Philadelphia International Cycling Championship in Manyunk. I got some great shots which I will post later. Right now I just wanted to post some of the misc pics I took while people watching. It was a fun time. I think everyone had a great time. Even the guy that got the bucket of water dumped on him. I hope it was water.
