The 2012 Cyclocross Nationals from Madison are all said and done. In previous blog posts I had a sampling of photos from each day. I’ve now added an archive of roughly 1000 photos from the 5 days of racing. To check out the archive from the national championships you can find it here .

The fifth and final day of racing at cyclocross nationals is done. Big crowds attending the final two elite races where they saw Katie Compton take her eighth title and Jeremy Powers get his first national championship title. Along with the elite title the collegiate races were decided with Marian University winning the D1 title and Mars Hill College winning the D2 title.

Here’s my fifth and final gallery from the 2012 edition of the Cyclocross National Championships.

Day 4 of Cyclocross Nationals is in the books. Weather was still warm with a bit more wind. Today’s racing was a bit of everything with Juniors, Masters, Collegiate Women, and the Under 23 Men. In pretty much all the races the battle was to see who would join the leader on the podium. Here’s my selections from today’s action…

Despite a couple masters races on the schedule day 3 was definitely the juniors day here in Madison. On Friday many national champions were crowned from 10 years olds up to 18 year olds. The kids were amazing to watch out there. Pure determination tackling the tough muddy conditions. In many cases crashes never even slowed them down, they just bounced up and kept racing. Here’s a sampling of my photos focused on all the juniors who raced today.

Day 2 of Cyclocross Nationals is in the books. Gorgeous weather in Madison as we were somewhere near 50 degrees! Today saw lots of national titles go in the masters categories. Congratulations to fellow Minnesotan Linda Sone, the new national champion in her age group. Was a back and forth race for Linda as we saw the top two women change lead several times over their 4 lap race. Tomorrow we’ll see the juniors out on course and with warm temperatures once again looks to be sloppy mud kind of day. Here’s a sampling of my photos from today’s masters action:

Sampling of Fall Color in Northern Minnesota | Matthew Moses

Back in early October I enjoyed a day along the north shore of Lake Superior visiting Lutsen and Gooseberry Falls State Park. The Fall colors were a bit past peak but still splendid to photograph and enjoy. Just wish there had been a few wispy clouds in the otherwise clear blue sky.

Orionid Meteor Shower

This morning was the peak of the annual Orionid meteor shower. I was outside at 4am to see if I would be able to see any of them. With the camera setup on the tripod clicking away I set back and got to see numerous meteors before the light from the rising moons started to wash out the sky. Here’s a couple of photos where I was able to capture the meteor as it streaked across the sky.

2011 Twin Cities Marathon – a few photos

Sunday was a beautiful day for the 2011 edition of the Twin Cities Marathon. Temperature started in the 40′s and were near 70 by noon. With very little clouds in the sky it was one of the better editions to photograph compared to previous years. As I have done for the last several years I was out taking photos as part of the photography team assembled to cover the event for the race organization. Here’s a sampling of some of my photos from Sunday’s event.

Out photographing the night sky…

In between the cloud and fog banks, last night turned into good night for seeing and photographing the night sky. With a lot of attention focused on where the NASA UARS satellite would come crashing down had sort of hoped to see it streak across the sky but alas Northern Minnesota didn’t see anything. Did get to see a nice showing of the Milky Way, played around with a few star trail photos, and was working on photographing the Andromeda galaxy before the last batch of clouds rolled in at Midnight. A few photos from last night, two different shots of the Milky Way and one 15 minute star trail photo.
