Out-On-The-Bike Photography **PHOTOS ONLY**


Recommended Posts

Ok, so I am creating this thread largely for myself and any other photography enthusiasts.


It has been so often that I am out on my bike and wish I'd have stopped to take a photo - and now I'm gonna aim to do it, and encourage others to do this aswell.


The Rules: http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-signs004.gif

> this thread is only for displaying artistic photographs you have taken when out biking. It can be of anything, just as long as it's actual photography (i.e not a snap on your phone of a funny sign or fat people sunbathing), and you have to have gone out on your bike or specifically biked there to take the photo.

> it can include your bike, but doesn't have to.

> it doesn't have to be obvious you stopped somewhere on your bike (i.e you don't have to have a road or your bike in the pic to prove you were on your bike when you stopped to take the photo. But please be honest and don't just upload random photos!)

> short descriptions and no long discussions please - let's keep this to largely just photos.

> don't bombard us with photos, a selection of your best few is great; link us to your flickr or other website you might have more photos on to show us albums.


Enjoy!

i love this topic..... i was riding to work at 4am yesterday ( i know, im a shift worker! ) and i rode over a bridge next to a lake, country side, slowly rising gorgeous sun, clear skies and a soft mist and fog laying over the waters..... i could have creamed. The scene was gorgeous



I was so inspired that i might consider riding out to find further scenes and picturesque places. But I want a good camera but something for a beginner to capture these shots! what type of D-SLR would you consider?


Can we incorporate that into this thread too please :P

PM me with the specifications for the sort of camera you want. Budget, preferrable size and weight, what you want to use it for. Do you want something smaller for snaps but better than a standard compact? Or a very good compact (quality is getting better and better these days!). Or an actual professional SLR with expensive interchangable lenses? Or a compact DSLR, like what I take most my photos on; great all rounder - better than a compact, interchangable lenses but not really for everyday snappy photos due to size and not great in low light, and have to use a big detachable flash for. My hubby and I have degrees in photography, and hubby used to be a manager at Jessops; we're always up for helping with camera-related queries 8-) .

Seems like such a waste to drive past and not capture the prettiest sights.

30th July 2013; Parted ways from EAB Steve and Karen (aka Tracy!) @ the Hartford Marina meetup due to pissing rain...before I got home the rain stopped, clouds parted and the sun was setting - beautiful lighting. Couldn't resist stopping and snapping :mrgreen: .

31.07.2013; On my ride home from late night shopping after work, I spotted 2 allotments I'd never seen before - this was the 2nd one. I ride this way home every day and have done sine I moooved house last year, can't believe I've not noticed it before! So I hopped off the bike and took some snaps - was there for almost an hour in the end!:

These were my first ride out when i got the bike.


Despite the fact I've gotta be up @6:30am, I can't stop playing with photos! Hope you don't mind I had a play with yours? Not perfect, but eyes are blurry... :mrgreen:
