    Let's Ride

    It was so beautiful here yesterday so we got out on the bikes. Afterward, I coerced the kids to ride a bit so I could get some shots. I'd love to hear your feedback.

    I like the motion effect this image gives. Nice angle.

    The motion is so realistic that it actally make sme dizzy looking at it for too long.

    Nice shot, love the movement, but how on earth did you take this and still stay on your bike? I would have wiped him out trying this.

    I like the angle of the image, also. Nicely done.

    Re: Let's Ride

    Thanks for the comments. It wasn't all that hard to do actually. I set the camera to multi-shot mode and AI servo, held the camera in my outstretched hand (pointed toward the area I thought I wanted), and just held down the button. Granted, it took probably 50 blurry shots to get 2 or 3 that looked decent, but that's the joy of digital.
