dennis lee 0 Posted May 14, 2003 If you like riding straight and fast Nevada is the place to go. We crossed Nevada at close to the ton the whole way. This bike had a slight but predictable wobble over 90 so this shot was probably made around 80mph. This camera was very poor quality but did have a 28mm lens. It had such a long delay in the shutter button that I threw it out of a moving convertible a year later. In case you're wondering this shot is a hand held Hail Mary. Link to comment
gareth_harper 0 Posted May 14, 2003 Prefer corners myself Dennis. Wish the file size was a bit bigger. What's the muck on the left hand side? It's very contrasty but I do like the composition and the idea. Wobble? What do you expect if you ride a BMW!! Link to comment
dennis lee 0 Posted May 14, 2003 Hey Gareth, yep, I prefer corners too. This Beemer was a loaner for a ride out to Photographic Workshops in Santa Fe. We did a BMW magazine cover shot with it out at the workshops. That aberation on the left is from the horrid lens that was on the camera. It's not even a flair, I think it's the sun reflecting off the plastic of the lens itself. And the wobble, well, I think it's kind of inherent to 21" wheels that go off-road. My honda would do the same thing. When it was really weird was in the 90+ sweepers out in Utah. Man that's some nice riding country! Thanks for the comment. Link to comment
