43. Battlecreek Cross

The Battlecreek Cross race was part of a new OBRA-sanctioned cyclocross series based in the Willamette Valley, on Saturday, November 8, 2008. The rain hammered riders for most of the day and I did my best to capture the day and paint a picture of how it all went down.
This was my first effort with my HV30 and Letus 35mini that I got a few days before the race. I think I shot too much of the day in too shallow of a DOF (1.8-2.8), but I'm still happy with how the first shoot came out, especially since it was pouring most of the day, and I had a crazy jury-rigged umbrella contraption to keep me dry.
I also used a homemade 35mm adapter support rig since I didn't realize at the time I'd need one to hold my adapter and lens securely on my tripod. You can see the pics I posted of the adapter support and umbrella rig on the day of the race in this thread:

One question, though: At about 1:18-19, you zoom out and a bit of matte enters the left side of the frame... I'd assume this is the edge of the GG inside the letus, but I'm not sure. Do you remember if you were using the camera's zoom or the nikkor's at that moment?... or was something external actually obstructing the shot?
