Town riding

This was shot on a 14mm lens on a full frame DSLR, so you can imagine how close the

rider was to the moving car!!!

 

Your views please...

Great image. I'd love to know how you captured it, was the camera mounted to the car and on remote control?

The camera was mounted via a monopod, Super Clamps, Magic Arms and sucker cups to the car. The camera was upside down with a flashgun mounted on the hotshoe. Another flash (Lumedyne) was then also mounted on the car to illuminate the rider's back. All this was then triggered remotely by me, while driving the car as well! Ssshhh... Don't tell health and safety. We went round a very quiet roundabout for a few laps at a time, changing set ups until we were happy. All shot on a 14mm lens, so you can understand just how close the rider is!

Excellent Mark (set-up and end result),

 

would love to be doing this for a living!

Thanks for the info Mark. I saw this in Ride last month and it stood out then. Now I know how you did it I like it even more! Although I am a little dissappointed that you weren't hanging upside down off the front of the bonnet yourself to get the shot! Keep them coming!
