Sport is fun - a photo on Flickriver

Sport is fun

            It was a funny situation. The photographer in the picture was using a state-of-the-art Sony camera and could hardly get a good photo. He smiled sheepishly at me and said that everything was happening too fast for him. I told him to use the AF tracking and face detection features on his camera, and then it would be easy. He just laughed awkwardly and said, ‘Yeah, yeah, okay, right.’ He was obviously completely overwhelmed by the technology and I don't think he understood me...
Meanwhile, I stood there with my 90-year-old camera and simply pressed the shutter button when a biker came into the frame. I had determined the frame, distance and exposure beforehand. However, the sports session didn't agree with my ageing camera. The fast 1/300 second shutter speed hasn't worked since...
