    The girlfriend took part in this at the weekend so I followed them around taking shots. Took over 500 shots. Here are a few. More will be going up on Flickr as I get time to process them.

    Hey gandalf, interesting shots.
    This laptop's screen hasnt been calibrated but they look a little dark to me, look like a lot of shadow detail is lost on the 2nd one in particular.

    Its the processing that I use (the infamous dodge and burn). I might throw the original up or one of the other shots I have of that lad because he was such a great character to take snaps of.

    Ok have thrown one or two more up without the B&W overprocessing :)

    Here is a colour version of wild hair man!!

    This was taken at the half way stop on the first day in Rathfriland, and the gradient is correct, it was a bitch of a climb for the cyclists.

    Top image is more or less ok with the doge and burn. It's way overboard for the guy as you cant see the details of him etc unless of thats what you are trying to portray ;):D
