Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - My bike and I.

Since I didn't get my spoke card in the mail (jab!), I decided to go ride my tears away. Here is some photo love:

I'd love to know how you set that up.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the love friends.

I used my U-lock as a tripod and set my timer.

ka is a hawteeee!

show us some crank, ka.

edit: or, show us some "crack." yeah, crack.

wow, you stayed damn still for 8"!

well done.

You can use a U-lock for more than just smashing windows.

There was a flash involved as well.

d'oh!

is there a chance of getting that at 1280px wide for a desktop?

its an awesome pic.

I can do that. P.M. me and I'll send it. I don't want to post that big of an image in here. Thanks. That's very flattering.

I love your work man, this would be a good thread to post some more pics of you on the bike in motion. Those rock.

sent, thanks :) hopefully you can use what i sent you as well.

tasty....

tasty....

I sold all my old canon film equipment for that lens. It is tasty indeed.

its a nice lens for sure. i'm shooting with a nikkor 35-105 1:35-45, but would love a wide angle lens, or maybe even a fish eye.

I am afraid I'd get sick of a fish-eye. The cost was never worth it to me. Get a wide-angle. You'll love it.

that tokina isn't offensively priced either ... not cheap, but doesn't make me wanna vomit, expensive.

I know. That's the only reason I have one. It's a great deal.

thanks again :) it'll ring in the new year on my desktop.

mmmm, i wish i had some $$$ for a digital SLR. it's what, $500 for that setup?

i've been fooling around with some ISO 3200 B&W at night, w/ a regular SLR. we'll see what happens...

I befriended a pro photographer that had a D100 he wasn't using so he gave it to me. I couldn't have afforded it otherwise. It's more than $500 for my setup. I just got real REAL lucky.

You have managed the light very well - cool shot, thanks for sharing.

I also have hawt kennethalan pics all over my desktop. He's so dreamy.

wow - amazing.

I need to find someone local that will do that.

I dream of hawt custom built lugged frames. So that works out well.

Nice pix, and many points awarded for the u-lock tripod!

Is your bike giving you a BJ in that first pic?

Awesome. Now I know I won't regret ordering them.

You mean your bike doesn't? You should take better care of her.

I really like the shot at the top of this thread - it is reminiscent of anime for me...

that 2nd street is really going to be something a few years from now

wish i had capital when they started building to invest in those real estate

bah - it's all trendy crap for your house right now.

me & my bike

me and my bike, my bike and me,
roll together down street 'neath shade of tree,
past houses, and buses, and cars, go we,
both me and my bike, and my bike and me.


me with my bike, and my bike with me,
brave the traffic that never seems us to see,
face the size and the smog of the SUV
and through it all get to where we gotta be.


I think that bikes are better, you see,
both for soul and cardio-vascular-ly,
plus for the air, and each bird and bee,
that we pass together, both my bike and me.


me and my bike, and my bike and me,
go on down the road, go on down the steet,
join us! we'll travel quite happily,
when we go by bike, and go biking shall we.

Overweight secretary love. Yes!

Off topic, but isn't that Tokina lens just about the cheapest wide angle lens you can buy? $170 at B&H... My relatively domestic 28mm prime Nikkor was more. With pictures like the above coming from a $170 lens, one has to question those internet photo-lords with their snobbish pictures of pets from their $4G wunderlense.

Nice picture... Very nice. I know I don't use my timer nearly enough.

On the subject of cheap lenses and fisheyes, I am awaiting arrival of my 8mm Peleng lens. Then I've got my sights set on a 105mm macro...

YES!


It's been a great lens so far. I haven't had any problems. You can't beat that price either. I have a macro that I use for some product shots. Very cool to use for a change sometimes.

Product shots?!?! You only take pics of golden arches (http://www.ciw-online.org/toursite/images/03-04-02mcdos.jpg).

Your mom loved the camera.
