  6. MBUK articles from the past! Feel free to contribute

    in Riding Pictures

    Posted

    I'm about to start posting some articles. They span 1994 to 2002, so chronologically they sit before most of what's already been posted. They are only a selection from that time, just the issues I happen to have.

    Mostly the scans should be good because I did them with a flatbed, but occasionally edges are blurred where they didn't sit flat, but all should be readable. Pages should also be in order. Anything out of order or too blurry, let me know and I will try to correct.

    John is really, really good.

    He really is, isn't he. Straight bangers.

    You killed it on the edit, really good to watch. I can understand the pressure to come up with the goods covering a team trip like that, so well done for smashing it.

    Sounds like your son knows how to get his own way, might want to watch that.

    Mainly speed, waiting until you think something is going to happen and try be ready. I also waiting behind people and then shoot through them so I'm not noticed as much, plus you can add layers with the people. Shooting from chest height looking down at the screen, little bit of luck and then you always get someone playing up too so you go with it.

    People make great layers, but they also tend to move . These are all 35mm, just popping up at the right time.

    Some great moments there! Makes sense what you're saying. And you guys usually work as a pair? Because that's the other thing, I wonder how on your own you can do it all.

    I'm more 15% posed, 85% natural but I shoot almost entirely on a 35mm lens getting in really close. Little bit of 85mm once I'm bored of 35mm or sometimes jump to 24mm.

    Working at 35mm, how do you deal with people playing up to the camera? Or do you just wait until they think you've got the shot and snap one more? You know that thing where a camera appears and people start doing a thumbs-up or whatever.

    We’d agreed with our photographers that we were having a less structured wedding than most, and they could just get candid shots the whole day. Still kept catching them making people pose, and those shots are the ones we skip over when looking back.

    I can see how that would make for a much better photo set, and one that shows the day as it was, not moments provoked by the camera.

    Right, I've been drafted in at the last minute to shoot a friend's wedding after the photographer they had has had a personal issue. I normally shoot landscape and night shots so any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Once I was coerced into shooting a very-much-now-ex-girlfriend's graduation ceremony, and it was a complete disaster. Unless you have decent experience in similar shooting environments you might like to undraft yourself...

    2 weeks?! I was out for a week in summer too and could have stayed forever!

    Where did you kip? Chalet? Camper? We had chalet service and it was amazing waking up in the morning and having your breakfast served to you at the table. Only shit thing was the single beds/pillow/quilts:lol:

    What was your favourite area to ride there? I loved Plenny black!

    Year before I had 3 weeks!!

    A group of us rented a self-catered chalet, so cooked for ourselves but each had a double bed room with en-suite, and a big garage to use for bike storage/workshop.

    This year was my fifth in a row going over there so I've ridden quite a lot. Morgins is a lesser-visited but amazing park, definitely one of my favourites. The Pleney Black is an absolute classic, one day we did that about 10 times on the trot working on different bits of it. If I could have a day doing anything though it'd be sessioning the black runs at Châtel, so much fun to be had there.

    I will be going back next year, probably late July, so let me know nearer the time if you go too.

  23. Bikes you wish you owned but never did

    Way back then, the Crescent was a frame many of us longed for. Fortunately I can't think of many commercially available frames that I wanted that much and didn't end up buying, although I remember really liking the old DBR frames that Tibo rode, and would've had one if I didn't already have the Vario. Oh yeah, and a Zaskar LE in the 90s of course, no way was I ever affording one of them...
