gar·bage n.
3. a. Worthless or nonsensical matter; rubbish
Despite my best efforts for a good picture I often end up with many garbage/worthless shots, an example of which is found below. A couple of hours ago I was watching the bikers go through this busy avenue downtown Barcelona, the tour's 7th stage. But here the trees are on the way and it’s a busy picture… The only positive point is that you can see the yellow jersey right in the middle of the picture (concentration is required!), quite relaxed biking with his arms behind his back. Find further below other no-prize-winner shots of this amazing event! the weather wasn't cooperative either (and with all the excitement I forgot to select the "cloudy" setting...) as the day began overcast and dark. There was no time to concentrate on the subject as the bikers only need a couple of seconds to ride by… It was simply "shoot and hope the snapshot is at least not blurry"! Here they come!!

I like your take on this theme Mar. You got some good shots and what fun to get to go see it live like this. So I'm pretty sure that I spotted Lance in the first shot where you told us where to look. I also think I spotted him in the one where you said it was our turn, if he was a few people behind the red car.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are awesome. So many people.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! It must have been some sight!
ReplyDeleteI've seen that building in Barcelona!
this post is exactly a perfect example of "one man's garbage is another one's gold". what you call garbage shots, i totally love.
ReplyDeletegreat take. happy hunting. and enjoy the weekend.
Great take on the theme! And I like these pics :) Happy photo hunting!
ReplyDeleteStill I'm so impressed at your efforts, it's aways hard and exciting. Who know's if going down there would have been better either! But it's great scenary too! I'm still content and happy you got to see it pass! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful and unique take on the theme! I don't think these photos are garbage at all, but I certainly can relate to the concept!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
no idea where Lance is, but your shots are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow! How great that you got to be there -- and I don't think your shots were garbage at all!
ReplyDeleteLucky he's wearing a different helmet from the others this year.
ReplyDeleteYOu are so lucky to see them.
Happy weekend.
How awesome is tht to be able to see that. It's fantastic and the pictures are great :)
ReplyDeleteMar,
ReplyDeleteI have followed TDF since 1967. It's true.
And who won the leg to Barcelona?
I simply love the Tour
Oh my - don't think any of those are "garbage" shots at all, Mar! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! Nice take on the theme. And how fun to watch them live!
ReplyDeletei wish i was there!
ReplyDeleteI just fainted seeing all these bikes. After having recovered I think your pictures are not bad at all, at least it shows the ambience ! and even I prefer bikes to garbage cans !
ReplyDeletethose are great shots and creative take for the theme.
ReplyDeletei only have one photo entry :(
ReplyDeleteyou may check it HERE though..
I like these photos... not garbage at all. Wonderful capture on the race.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots.
ReplyDeleteA great way to illustrate the theme, even if I question your judgement over what might be a garbage shot. :) You need to see some of my rejects!
ReplyDeleteGreat shts. I loved it when the Tour de France came to London. Happy weekend
ReplyDeleteHow exciting. NOT garbage shots!!! Not at all.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting take for the theme...Great one.
ReplyDeleteThat's not garbage at all Mar. You should try taking the shot of the garbage they throw on the floor after each drink check points. :P

As if we were there at the tour in Barcelona! Thanks Mar I would want to be there (not so much for the tour, but more for the fun!)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would consider them worthless. As for Lance.. being up in the top five after being off for several years now is amazing in itself.
ReplyDeleteMy construction trash or garbage is up.
As someone who takes a LOT of photos, I end up with a LOT of garbage shots. I often try and see if I can do anything with a shot that might turn it into a treasure. It sometimes happens. I usually manipulate it using my editing software and see what happens. When you get lemons.... make lemonade!
ReplyDeleteVery fine shots, no garbage at all though.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and thanks for visiting.
You know I envy you - to be there - live! You know we Norwegians has a special reason to follow - like; you know who now hold the green jersey! :-)
