Some Fun Fotos.

I've substituted a PT therapy table for cyclocross participation at the moment so instead of sitting around eating Cheetos, I've been hauling myself to the races to capture some of the fun on my new camera while learning how the damn thing works.

Soon I will be watermarking my stuff (when I have time to read the Lightroom tutorial. (HA!) People are already SNATCHING up my photos and posting them on public websites without even asking. SHAME. SHAME. Who the heck do I think I am anyway? A professional photographer? By no means. I can barely turn on my camera BUT... I've spent HOURS and HOURS downloading, editing (while trying to
digest and understand Lightroom3, organize them, and finally upload my photos. (phew)

A simple, "Hey, can I upload/use/post your photo on my blog,team website, sponsor page? "Please? Thank You, and I will give you credit for your photo" is a simple,
logical and courteous gesture, I say.

Anyway, enough fluff... here's some of my favorites taken over the last 3 weeks. Go 'head,
steal 'um .  "-)

I just went to watch my first cyclocross event this weekend. It was crazy and I'm so impressed by all the athletes who compete in this unique sport! Hope your recovery is going well.

Those are awesome pictures!

The guy in the orange in the first pic is taking it up the butt, the chick in the blue is facing the opposite way, and the crash with the guy in red is just sorta awesome.

I think the cyclocross butt raping picture is in need of a caption constest.

These are amazing photos Elaine...seriously....you are equally talented in photography as you are kicking ass in triathlon...WOW!!

Annoying about people snatching pics, I would feel the same way, even just a "hey, would you mind if I posted this on fb" and then like put your name for credit you know?

Awesome shots!
