Seward Scenes: May 22

Although the lighting didn’t look particularly promising, I ventured to this week’s Seward Park Thursday Night Cycling Series event to experiment with my trusty little Sony RX100 to try to capture images of speedy cyclists in the fading light of a cloudy evening.

The results were so-so in my opinion; there was not enough illumination to see suffering on the faces of the riders:
