No Elliott, I still have my compact Canon, but on some of the pics I (somewhat involuntarily at first) got an effect a bit similar to what you can do with an SLR when you zoom in while taking the photo, and that renders the centre in focus and the edges blurry (I was pulling the camera towards me during the shot). It looks a bit wide-angley too. This has worked best on the photo of the other Dynamo rider.
Also I played a bit with the shutter speed, some of the better ones were done at around 1/80s with a medium flash and following the rider's movement. But my batteries were low from the start so it was a bit of a nightmare as sometimes it just wouldn't want to focus, so I had to concentrate on acc riders only.
I loved the moment when, looking through my camera I shouted "go on Tim", only to be replied "no, I'm George!".
