I meant there is a slight yellow/red color cast on your shots. It is better not to compensate for the under-exposure during the post processing. That would generate massive noise. It is better to expose to the right first. Even with RAW, I think you can get by with the noise with a + half of a stop compensation in post processing.

Nice shots Andy. Proper exposure. You can see the faces and eyes, full rider/bike profiles. What ISO you were using? Last week with the Kissena Fall Classic, I was at iso 2500…:) A slight bit of yellow color cast though…

Anywhere from 400-800 (once you tweak the raw file you’re effectively changing the ISO). Do you shoot raw files? You can change the color temp after the fact.

didnt he go for a swim in turtle pond today? after hanging out at the 24hrs Mcee Dee’s???
stay classy floyd…

stupid is as stupid..

Let’s see – 12 is the max amount of riders you can have in a field, and NYVC had 12 in a few races. So what is your point?

Let’s face it, in the B field, teams don’t mean shit. The strongest riders always win- with a team or without. So if your team can’t win because NYVC has 12 riders on the team, and you want to use that as your excuse for losing, that’s fine, but just keep it amongst your teammates if that makes you guys feel better.

i’m not so sure if he could “kick all y’alls asses in jeans and boots”…a few years ago he raced (forget what race it was, but it was somewhere in the northeast) and some local guys beat him in some of the stages.

Come on, Landis cruised Battenkill, artfully (and gracefully) gave the win away to that young Garmin kid. Probably raced it on a bet, totally hungover and with his rear derail. locked out of his 23.

Really, you think a guy who won (for better or worse) the TDF gives a shit about winning some race in upstate NY–as fun a race as it is, of course?

Floyd was pedaling squares the last 5k at Battenkil and did not give away anything, although Fairly sat on his wheel the previous 15k.
