The Usefulness of a Bike, and a Couple Photos that Make Me Feel Small
I mentioned in a previous post regarding using a bike (especially a long-tail) as a platform to stabilize a camera, and in that post I was using a small tripod that was primarily for compact or at least lighter cameras. Well, since then I have gotten a couple new (used) cameras that are considerably heavierContinue reading “The Usefulness of a Bike, and a Couple Photos that Make Me Feel Small”

Two Views from my Handlebars
The weather this past week has been–as far as I’m concerned–perfect. Idyllically autumn. Crisp, barely a breeze, or cloud in the sky. Also perfect weather to be on a bike.
