Olympic Park Velodrome - Practice Session

We headed to the Velodrome Stadium, not expecting anything to be on. There was a practice session that gave me the chance to try the Olympus OMD EM1 camera on a sport activity.

We have talked about going again to an event. I will still take my Canon 5Dmk111 for this though.
