Congrats, London wins 2012 Summer Games bid!
Okay, so it's a long way off BUT what a great place and event to have a photo meetup. It's expensive and requires a lots of planning so it's not completely premature to mention it now.
I went to the SLC Winter Games in 2002 and it was a ton of fun. I was thinking about going to the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver but London maybe would be even more fun.
Just a thought . . .

Here's a couple of my shots from the 2002 Olympics (shot with a cheap Canon s30 P&S):
Chris Witty USA wins 1000 meter gold
Norway and Italy duke it out on the final stretch for Cross Countys relay medals (I know the horizon isn't level - I left it that way because i liked the candid, dynamic feel the shot had). Guess who won?

I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

Lots of pics in this gallery, beware. Pics of familyand friends mixed in with event shots.
I haven't looked at these in quite awhile - brings back lots of pleasant memories.
ps. I'm the guy on the crutches in the shots

I'll be there with my new Canon 50D and my 10-400 f/2 L. Put us down for a double room, pronto! If we hold the rooms now we might even get a better rate.
I sure hope I don't have to work that weekend.
Congrats to all of England for holding the big party.

I was planning to take my Nikon D1000.5 - I won't need the giant, super fast glass - the D1000.5 will be the one with no noise at ISO 12,000 - great for the sports stuff!!

This is a wonderful incentive and good planning ahead.
Even though planning soooooo far ahead is out of character for me--I will jot it down on my calender:):
Your photos from the 2002 Olympics are wonderful--especially your first shot. I like the smurred action of the skater , the silouhette of the crowd and the cacklight light on the American flag.
Great shot
