Time trial… part 2. For the #monomad challenge

Hello black and white photography lovers. Today I bring you the continuation of my previous post. If I remember correctly, we were at a cycling event, a time trial competition to be more exact. The previous photos were taken with my new Carl Zeiss 80mm f2.8 lens. Well, I bring you a part of the competition... these photos that I show you today were all taken with the Canon 70-300 IS USM lens, and I'll explain my technical decision: I only had one chance during the race. A time trial is not a circuit where you wait and the competitors pass by your side 50 times, and there is no fuel in Cuba currently for anyone to take me near these guys on a motorcycle or in a car. So, for them to have some photos from that day, I decided on the most versatile lens with autofocus (that doesn't mean I didn't take some with another manual lens, but that will be in another post), and well, I was able to take photos at the start and the return. Even so... in another post, I plan to put images I took with the Praktica 135mm f2.8, but to be honest, I have doubts about whether to do it. Because I want to highlight the color effect that lens gives... I thought about posting those photos in a color photography group... but I don't know if it's valid to put them here in black and white... I hope the admins can clarify that doubt for me. I look forward to your comments. I hope you enjoy this post.
