Jsy Ben Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Nice photos,Can see future photo topics of these two, well definatly your housemate and maybe the other martin, progressing. Slowly changing to more trials specific bikes, most likely low long and silver...time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Beasty photos as usual Mike!!Need to get some more up, i love em.in that first one did you use off camera flash?How do you get the exposure so spot on, the flash is perfect.Last ones best, although he should be covering his back brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipus Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) what rob said, beasty photos!Don't think I've seen trials photos by you on here, get some more up! What sort of lens did you use in those? Edited November 8, 2006 by tipus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Deere Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) You're right, I do need to take more trials photos... But now that I'm living in a household where 4 people ride trials and another rides downhill I can imagine I'll be returning to my trials roots. I've even just picked up an old Saracen MAD off a mate, so that I can get back into trials properly... I've missed it.In other news, yes I did indeed use off camera flash for all of the photos. I use a really old-skool manual flashgun along with aperture priority mode. I use a medium aperture of about f/8 to f/11 and make sure that the flash is as strong as possible when used in sunlight, as it has to balance out the almighty powerful sun. A lot of it is guesswork and luck!Edit: I just remembered something! In that shot of the wheelie, he is actually covering the back brake! The bike is German (he's from Germany) and the Europeans do have something funny about having the levers the "wrong" way round.

RidestreetUK Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 not necessarily ino a few people who ride with rear brake on right just personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
