Critical Mass 3/3/07

Alright so these are some photos from a little photo session in which i had a so much fun shooting but even more so in just participating. So apparently in Boston, MA along with many other large cities there is an event that takes place on the last Friday of every month called Critical Mass. Critical Mass from what I am told is a night when cyclist take back the roads. There is no predetermined route, so photographing it was really difficult. at the beginning it was easy but then while i was riding with the group also trying to take cohesive photographs. The gathering begins at Copley Square where then hundreds of cyclist start circling in the common until the pack breaks free and then its all free reign from there on.

Im fairly content with these photos but I just know I can do a way way better job. I was just over taken by how amazing it all was and having way too much fun to really get into the zone and dial in my exposures and iso; as you'll see they arent as sharp as i would have liked, by my not boosting my iso to get a greater shutter speed.. alot of that having to do with riding a road bike and taking photos at the same time.
