Lets see you on your bike!

**Eden** · 08-09-2006, 09:37 AM

Seeing Kitsune's pic got me thinking about starting up a thread to see everyone. Normally don't really like having my photo taken, but for some reason I love to see photos of myself on the bike (hope this doesn't sound vain....)

these are some of my favorites:

you get to see the DH too.

Eden, you are really booking in those photos!!

I like them too.

This is at Six Gap last year. The only event photo I've come even _close_ to not looking hideous in. Probably because this followed an 11 mile downhill.

Here's hoping my upload works...

Hmmm, I'm a shutterbug and yeah, Hammer's photo is cool. Methinks the lens was being manually zoomed while the picture was taken. It is actually easy to do - getting it right is another story. Hammer though, definitely got it right

Don't have one of myself on my bike (need to have DH take one I guess), but wanted to say that your pictures are all great!!! I like to see them (and to put faces with names). Keep posting!

Thanks!

I duplicated the photo, put a radial blur on the top layer and then erased the portions that I wanted to stay in focus. I did it in photoshop.

So, no... I'm sorry to say it wasn't a manual zoom. Though, I do enjoy doing that effect. However, I haven't been very successful doing the pan while taking a longer exposure picture, so doing both at the same time could be tricky. And also, I wasn't taking this photo of myself... so I would have another skill I'd have to master at the same time.

To be fair, I do tend to prefer images made inside of the camera, though sometimes you do have to cheat and digitally manipulate a photo on the computer to make it a little more interesting.

Also, I'll include a picture of the 'jersey' I made for the MS150 last weekend. I don't have a team jersey, so I made my own... sort of.

Another thought, cycling glasses really aren't very stylish on their own. Hmmm...

wow great pictures and great idea!

this is the only one i have of me and my bike.

it was a bit muddy that day.

**FreshNewbie** · 08-09-2006, 10:06 AM

i dont have any even pictures, but I just wanted to say that you all look really good.

**Cassandra_Cain** · 08-09-2006, 10:15 AM

Nice pictures everybody - I would think of posting one, but have no idea how to. The usual <img src="blah blah"> doesn't seem to work....

Eden - wow! If you tell me you aren't fast, I still wouldn't believe you after seeing those

Cassandra, look above the window; do you see the little mountain range
in a square with yellow sky?

This is from my first real event this past Saturday (obviously before the ride). At one point, my bf and I got lost (bad cue sheet directions). I stopped and had my left foot unclipped and on the ground, my right foot still clipped in. I turned my body around to the left, to ask bf - which way? and I started to lean to the right. Of course, still being new to clipless, I just panicked and fell completely over to the right.
Long story short, the "topple" left an 8 inch scratch on my left forearm - still can't figure out how.
Bf said if I wanted, we could come up with a better story about how it happened (as opposed to, "I just...fell over").

Ah...battle scars.
I haven't been successful at submitting pics thus far. Let's see if this works.
