The Tour de France came though our village, Saint-Privé (89) today but it’s overcast and raining. Went to the village at about 10h30 having already selected a good spot to get photos of the race with the village sign in the background. This was achieved, the race came through just after 13h00. Got shots of the race leaders and a few minutes later some great pics of the man who would be later that day be the stage winner – Mark Cavendish from the Isle of Man. Just as well I had made a placard the night before saying ‘C’mon Cav’ featuring an Isle of Man Treskelion.
Camera used was a Nikon D70 digital SLR with a Tamron 28-300mm zoom, set at about 135mm.
