The second race in Caithness Cycling Club's racing weekend was the Loch Calder Hilly 24 mile time trial, starting from Thurso to Westfield then down past Loch Calder and then to Glengolly (and round again). I snapped the riders as they sped down the Sheiling (beside Loch Calder), the fastest section of the race. I used the panning technique which is difficult to get right as the camera has to travel at the exact same speed as the rider in order to get the bike frame or a part of the rider, pin sharp in focus.
My son Chris also took some pics and got some head on shots with just the rider's face and arms in the pic. Caithness CC riders are in green shirts with yellow dots.
