Action + Landscape

[Photo-John]

One of the reasons I like mountain bike photography so much - besides the fact that I like riding - is that I get to combine sports and landscape in one photo. At least, when everything comes together. I ride because I like to be outdoors in dramatic landscapes. And one of the things I like to communicate with my photos is the feel feel of the wonderful places I get to go to. I took this one last night, south of San Francisco. It wasn't really planned and it's a wonderful, wonderful bonus. I think it's one of my best photos in a while.

Note: I also posted this in the gallery. You guys should post your good stuff there, too. It's a more organized way to save and share your photos. Plus, I'm hoping to build it up so that it becomes a resource for stock photo buyers and people shopping for photographers. The more good stuff there is in the gallery, the more useful it will be.
