G20 in Toronto

[mikehillman89]

Hey everyone!


With the G20 approaching I thought I'd start posting pics I started taking when I've been on break from work (I work right across the street from where the meetings will be taking place) and was hoping to get everyone's C&Cs!





They are all on my flickr page which you can access by clicking on the photo!


Thanks!

Great stuff Mike. Are those real policemen? They kinda look like models on those bikes [:P] I'm sure I wouldn't chase someone with 200km/h with just a shirt on [A]


Perhaps you could put an update-sign in your title whenever you've posted more?


Have fun shooting!

Hi Mike!





Very good pictures! Is it your new 300 mm F4 at work?





Alex.

Yeah Jan, I'm pretty sure that the bikes are only used for formal ceremonial type things like funerals, VIP escorts and other convoy related stuff, but I could be wrong...


And that's a good idea. I didn't think of that. I will for sure keep updating the title as I post new pictures. Thanks for the feedback!


Unfortunately Alex, I haven't gotten myself the 300mm yet. I did however get a 7D! And I absolutely love it! The lens is a rented 70-200 f/2.8 IS that I rented for the G20. I don't want to send it back []


More to come today!

Mike,





Did you use tri- or monopod?

[mikehillman89]

Alex,


All were shot handheld. I was on my bike shuffling from spot to spot and just put a foot down to balance myself and snapped away. I'm taking my tripod with me today. Hoping to catch some motorcade video.

hm...





Shall we call it bikepod?





Good luck!
