It's a Canon 5D Mk II, it's not photoshopped. I enhanced the image using Aperture.

FYI: That is how I met Chris - I was a freelance cycling photographer.

Was it back in the days when he zigzagged his way up climbs? http://youtu.be/lEGpv0xn0E8?t=8m13s I'm guessing plenty of time to get some pictures and have a conversation.

Enhancing is always good, you get more moolah and prestige.

What's wrong with photoshop?

Nothing, unless you completely alter the photo.

 

[wwabbit]

I didn't. She stalks me, replying to tweets not even directed at her.

I doubt she has been stalking you. At that point of time she was just searching for tweets with the keyword "Froome" right after the Romandie prologue win and yours stood out like a sore thumb... https://twitter.com/vamosalberto/status/326720444357033985 One reply doesn't equate to stalking...

No there is something wrong with photoshop they make ugly girls look pretty and all that

Of course she's not stalking me, but neither am I stalking her. You get it? One reply does not equate stalking as you said.

edit: I was just making a point, I mean if she can say I am stalking her I can say she is stalking me you know I only stalk Zam on twitter and BYOP stalks me

I agree zaman personally I don't like photoshop, I want the picture I am looking at to be a real picture and not a photoshopped/"enhanced" photo this belongs in the picture thread

ooh! is that why you're stalking me?

 

[BYOP88]

Natch! But I thought I was being uber-careful and that you hadn't noticed me. Looks like I need to attend summer school for stalkers, again!

Seriously, I also made one joke about Michelle but come on: Why all this sarcasm and animosity against this woman just because of some tweets?

After every strong man stands a strong woman, we say here in Germany. I would be glad to have such a lovely girlfriend by my side that would back me like that.

Because she can be a bit over-defensive sometimes, like me basically lol

I agree with you for the most part, even if I would regret a couple of her tweets if I was her boyfriend. Still, I would love to have a woman willing to stick up for me like that.

And as a bonus, she's extremely nice to look at.

I'm sure she is a nice person and it is admirable that she backs up the Dawg but she does come across as a bit of a loose cannon, which is problematic given that her comments will get media play.

I mean imagine the scenario Sir Brad and Froomey going at it to win the Tour, millions and millions of people watching in the UK and Michelle says something derogatory about England's Rose Wiggo, it will be all over the papers/internet/radio/tv and whilst I like a bit of drama I'm sure plenty of people won't be happy.

Personally I agree with a lot of stuff she has said regarding Wiggins, not so much the attacks on other CN members though.

Also if she does post stuff on here it would be a useful addition to this thread in particular I'm sure.

Haha he was mod then he wasn't mod anymore, then there was some sh*te and Barry posted about Joe Papp, and then his post got deleted and he posted it again and then he got banned and created another account and posted it again. you will probably find a joe papp thread in the about the forum section

Edit: since I am a nice person I searched it for you http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=18603&highlight=papp

 

[spalco]

I have nothing against Alberto... never have, probably never will...
I tweeted one video of a Vuelta preview that included some controversial stuff about Contador & that crazy stalker chick has been carrying on about it since... seriously... get over it.

Also, I don't know who you are ILovecycling & I wouldn't have bothered following you because of something you said about Brad...

Hahaha, is there any confirmation this is for real?

If yes, then hello, and welcome to the cyclingnews forums.

Can you get Mrs. Wiggins to add her thoughts here too?

I guess so, she also joined VR a while ago

yep, the Canon footprint is unmistakable... at least Chris himself uses the OM-D

you are the best
so much drama

 

[spalco]

Sorry for OT, but damn, that sucks. It was always clear, that Papp is a scumbag, but I didn't know how much of a scumbag he still was after he supposedly "reformed". Guess I must have been absent to the forums during that time...

Meanwhile...

FYI: That is how I met Chris - I was a freelance cycling photographer.

I'm confused. Which one is the "crazy stalker chick"?
