Getting Photos While Riding

[shootingstar]

I'm impressed by the clarity of those shots Veronica. Your hubby has a steady hand. ...

In my fantasy would be a super light camera that could be mounted on top of helmet and attached would be a cable that would have finger tip control to shift the lens up and down..to take shots as I look around. Or mount the camera backwards on top of helmet.

Whoever invents this..would win big in patent for cycling world

Tiny cameras have a existed for several decades....in medicine for our body parts, for engineering sector to determine mechanical problems in wirelines, engines, industrial surveillance & spying.. they put cameras in sprinkler heads,etc.

I usually just have mine in my pocket and I stop to take pics... I'd somewhat worry with it mounted to the handlebar in case I crashed... but there's still that worry when it's just in my pocket.

If I'm riding with a pack, I just put the camera in it's case on my shoulder or chest strap of the pack.

I have a Canon point-and-shoot that I keep in my back jersey pocket. I let the wrist strap hang out so I can grap it (securely) and take pictures on the move. You get much more dynamic pictures that way (as you can see...I'm usually at the BACK of the group! ).

Pics while riding:




Versus pix while hangin' out (of course...pictures while mtb'ing I think will be tough while moving anyway):

When DH and I are riding tandem, I'm designated photographer. We have an Olympus that is waterproof, crush proof and drop proof (1.5m). Haven't tested the drop proof part (thank goodness) however I just stash it is his jersey pocket in front of me and I take photoa all around- very funny in a paceline looking backwards!

DH is also very good at taking photos one handed while riding on his own.
