Quantocks photo sessions

Description

In the Quantocks for Seb Roger's photo course last weekend. There was a lot to learn, in good company with fellow bike/photo geeks, limitless "can you ride that again" requests and a beautiful setting. Most of all it rekindled my enthusiasm to go take photos. Here's my seven best frames, shot JPG in camera (quick to download for the afternoon's critique). The big take-home message was to practice panning with my rider, to reach a zen state of combined sharpness where you want it, effect and composition. It's a bit like an octopus one-man band (although obviously octopi can't play harmonica).
