Grabbed this between the clouds and before the Tour De France started on telly.

Taken using WO FLT98 with Atik 314l and Baader Contrast Booster, IR Block and #23a red filters

Stack of about 80 frames, actually took about 200 but the mist messed with the rest.

False colour by the way

Nah Steve that was the day before I got this one in about 25km before the end of the stage :)

very nice Phil, i`ve been reading up on the contrast filters myself, but as always there are some people who love them and others that are not so sure, but you`ve caught some lovely detail in your shot.

been watching the tour highlights myself, first stage win for Bradley today, i`d love to go and see it one year.

Cheers Rob, I was tempted to get one of those solar continuum thingy filters but then I read somewhere that a contrast booster gave similar results so I tried it. Images improved so I then messed about with other filters and the best combo with my gear is adding a 23a red to it and it seems to work OK.

Yep Bradley in yellow great stuff, hope it lasts. I know a few folks who have been to view it and apparently its one big party
