Cyclists caught on Kodak colour infrared film in a vintage Pentax K1000. The strange colour is a factor of the film type and the motion blur and distortion introduced entirely in-camera through the use of panning and a wide angle lens. I stood at the apex of a corner and these guys were tearing past about two feet away.

Hey Mandolin, thanks for the comment. There's not much to tell about the technique - apart from the info in the caption I used a ND8 (3 stop) neutral density filter, an orange filter (worth another stop) and slow shutter speed. Maybe 1/15 or 1/8th of a second for this shot. Aperture was set at f16 and focus set using the depth of field scale on the lens so I could then forget about them. Other than minor post-scan levels adjustments and sharpening nothing was done in photoshop. The colour is entirely provided by the infrared film. The lens was 28mm - not gigantically wide but enough to get some exaggerated distortion into the corners.
