Looks suspiciously like an entrants description of the results from his photo session of the last challenge. Hmmm.

Starker lighting would really point up the "broken" idea.

Thanks for your comments and your votes. Now, as Paul Harvey would say, "for the rest of the story ..."

It was twilight at the Redmond Washington Velodrome. My son-in-law was racing this evening and invited us to come and watch. I had free access to all areas of the track and the infield. It was twilight and the track was lighted but it was still pretty dark. I didn̢۪t want to use a flash because I didn̢۪t want to distract the racers. So I set ISO on my D70 to 1600 and hoped for the best.

I had shot about 70 pictures from various places and decided to move to a point between the last curve and the finish line. Set. Focus. Here come the racers. And right in front of me a rider goes down. I̢۪m shooting as fast as I can! Two more riders go down.

And BAM! I̢۪m hit by a flying bike. As I get up. I see the front half of my lens rolling away from me in the grass. The bike also hit the front of my D70 and tore the kit lens in half . So this photo is the last of the evening for me. I spent the rest of the evening nursing my injuries and mourning the lens, in that order. The jury is still out on the camera until I can get to camera repair.
