    Oxford

    Great architecture is abundant in Oxford, along with many many tourists, students and bikes.

    That, I think, is a beauty. Tells you as much about a place like Oxford as any wide, sweeping cityscape ever could.

    Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh!! Like this one. I have only managed to shoot something similar -- in films. And not as good as this one either. I like the texture of the stone wall...

    Thanks guys - 1/30th at 50mm to get the right amount of motion. Didn't have to wait long - cyclists everywhere

    I like the framing of the cyclist, Phil, and find the whole thing wonderfully composed. Terrific image.

    Re: Oxford

    Thanks Peter and Janis - I have a few from along the High Street outside a college but there was a little too much traffic - it was difficult to get a sense of 'order' - this was my backup scene so not quite the backdrop I was looking for but it worked out OK in the end.

    That's all judged to perfection. I know from experience how hard it is to get timing like that.
