Cycling with Dad

Last week my Dad bought a bike as well and, the weather being glorius this afternoon, we took our bikes and our cameras for a ride. We didn't go terribly far, about 2 miles down the road to White Waltham village where they were playing cricket on the green and there was a pub right opposite.

I think the heat, our general lack of fitness, and the pub made it seem an excellent place to stop. We had a pint and then went to take pictures of the cricketers at play.

That's my favourite of the shots I took. I had to mess with the exposure afterwards as most of them were over-exposed (it was extremely bright). I'm still very much learning my craft. Of course my Dad's shot will probably be much better because (a) he is a good photographer, and (b) he was using a Nikon D70 with a 300mm telephoto.

We watched a couple of wickets fall then got back on the bikes and pedalled home. I'm looking forward to our next outing!
