The face expressions of a cycling race | May 20, 2023 [PHOTOSTORY - 22 photos]

And here we are, again with a black and white photostory about cycling. I used some photos taken during an amateur cycling race held last May in the areas where I live in. I went there using my bike and – as usual – I stopped many times along the road, using my smartphone to photograph the athletes. The weather wasn't so sunny. There were many clouds, even if – luckily – it didn't rain.

In that event, the finish line has been placed on the top of a climb 3-kilometers long about. I took several shots along the road also in this last part of the competition. I missed the arrival of the athletes on the finish line, but it's ok.

At home, I put the photos in a fold on my desktop computer and – now – I thought that the time to publish arrived. I chose the best photos and I edited them: the weather didn't help me, because it caused many problems in the photos. I tried to create an acceptable result, changing lights and shadows, vignettings, contrasts, brightness, and removing a bit of noise. I hope you like the group of photos you can view below. Thank you in advance to stopping on my blog.
