Getting in the Mood: Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Photo Recon

Photographer Kristof Ramon rode along in the Lotto-Belisol team car while they prerode the course of this weekend's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. He put up this lovely slideshow of photos from the course. So sit back in your comfy chair, watch the slideshow, and get that cobbled feeling. You can grab a beer too, if you want. Because you wouldn't want to cobble without the appropriate beverages. It could be dangerous.

let's get it on
I am so stoked the season is starting.

Bummer is that I have a church conference this weekend and won’t be able to watch diddly! Major sadface!!

I'm so looking forward to Saturday.
Nice.

Those cycling neck scarf thingy’s are very euro. Very pro. Oughtta see if we can wrassle up a orange/grey/black one.

Yea baby, I'm in the mood...

oh right, bike racing… my bad.

Yeah..! Racing time..! Bring it..!
Very cool!
I really dig his work :)

And I super liked that he put up this fun slideshow for us to gawk at.

Stoked for this weekend :D

Yeah

very talented photographer

I could do without half the picture in B&W
I shall continue to boast about how I was once his 'assistant' at the Scheldeprijs,

before he was quite as famous as he is now :)

I love that he uses black and white a lot

Gives the pictures a different character, shifts the focus in some pictures. For me, I tend to notice textures more.

Deciding when color is best and when B/W best is one of the skills of a really good photographer

3-2-1-...

and EBH is sick…sigh

Nice

esp those Haaghoek pics.

Haaghoek...shudder
+0.9

(the other 10% came off through violent shaking)

Ha!

It’s the downhillness of it…you’re shaking so much that you can’t brake, it’s like freefall! Or perhaps I only want to brake because I’m a wimp.

The pro's go no faster tha 70-75 km/h there

I challenge everyone to try that on cobbles!
