    An Evening to Night MT Bike ride

    SO tonight a group of us went out for a ride.










    a Fall Down Go Boom

    I was too far away for the flash to do much good.






    Flat Tire, we can fix it



    Its Dark Now , time to use the lights



    Feel free to edit my Pics to show me how to make them Better.

    These are all pretty dark. How are you metering them? I've found that manual metering and flash output are pretty much required for this kind of shooting. The lights and reflective material on bike clothes almost always throw the exposure off.

    Looks like some fun night ride terrain. I haven't done a night ride for years. My lights are ca. 1999 and I doubt the battery would even charge now

    on rides like this . I only bring my cheap Point and shoot so no manual metering . and with good reason last night this one got its LCD smashed. I go through about one P&S a year. time to go over to ebay

    and lets not forget , the head lamps Drive the metering crazy!
