Tour de France Stage 20 Finale Photos

As noted in yesterday's post of Tour de France Stage 19 photos, These are the images we'd have captured if we were in Paris to do so, live. Instead, but in the same spirit, we've tried something different: taking screen captures of live action images, as they happen, on our iPhone with retina display. So, while crediting NBC Universal for providing the footage, these are the images we captured of the 20th and final Stage of this year's Tour de France.

Tour de France Stage 19 Time Trial Photos

We have been fascinated by this year's Tour de France coverage by NBC Universal as presented on iPhone and iPad via custom mobile app. The live race video has been impressive, with many outstanding photo opportunities. Having shot photos at endurance events for many years, with many images published in national magazines and on broadcast networks, we know the kind of photos we'd take, if we had the access at Tour de France, in person, to do so. Short of that, we've tried something different: take screen captures of live action images, as they happen, on our iPhone with retina display. So, while crediting NBC Universal for providing the footage, these are the images we captured of the 19th Stage of this year's Tour de France. (also see our photos from Stage 20)
