I am a cyclist who loves to photograph people in their natural environment. Cycling is also a great way for me to work with my photography.
I have a lot of friends who love photography, and when I tell them about these things, they’re usually like, “This is awesome.” It always makes me feel like I’m part of a larger community.
Photography is my favorite form of expression. All of the art I make is about the interaction I have with my fellow humans. I feel very lucky to be able to do this with my photos.
Cycling is a great way to work with photography. The best part of this is that you can create a very different and creative world of your own. In my favorite photograph of the day, I was riding around, and it was one of those moments where it seems like I was really there. My hair was blowing in the wind, my bike was a few feet in front and I was riding down the street with an immense sense of freedom.
Cycling is about freedom, and that sense of freedom is a rare thing in life. I’ve heard people say that if they were ever stranded on an island they would never want to leave, because they would feel so free. While that sense of freedom is a great thing, it’s also a thing that is very rare for humans. Because of this, I’ve always found it fun to create a photographic image that is free from the constraints of reality.
So Ive been doing that for a while and i thought it would be fun to share with you guys. This is an image Ive made when I was riding a bike on my way to work, with my camera attached to a tripod and holding the camera in the right orientation. When I was done, I was free and had the time of my life. Ive been experimenting with different angles and poses, but the image below is the one that seems to have been the most popular.
The image above has a couple of challenges. One is that the angle of the camera is obstructed by a tree limb, but that’s a minor inconvenience. The other is that the horizon is not perfectly horizontal, which makes it seem like the camera is going into the clouds. To get around this, I just snapped the image from slightly down below to the left of center, and it appears to be perfectly horizontal.
The best way to see this image is to shoot with the camera pointed to the left of center, which in this case is the most obvious place to shoot, and then turn around and shoot from the right. If you point the camera straight ahead at a horizon with perfectly horizontal ground, you will get a similar image.
There is another way to see this image, and that is to shoot from the right of center, which also produces the most obvious image. However, the right of center image is also a bit more subtle. You don’t want to accidentally focus on the ground because the image will appear to be upside down when it gets larger. You can see this by looking at the right of center image only for a very short period of time.
This is because there is a third image that is not straight ahead at a horizon and has a slightly higher ground that is offset from the image that is straight ahead at a horizon. This third image is usually the one that you will be shooting from when the shutter is on the right of center, and it is the one that you will want to focus on.
