I like shooting from the Saddle of my bike as I tour my country. These types of shots presents their own challenges because the camera is travelling at speeds that ranges between 100 and 180 km/h and I am shooting with one hand without using the view finder.

Currently I use a 400D with 17-85 IS lens on.

On the routes near my home that I travel regularly I have fallen into the habit of shooting roughly the same places every time I go by there. It is interesting to see how much things change over time.

Here is a set of a specific spot about 20km from Sabie.

;) this one is quite easy because I am coming out of a curve and I wait for the moment the bike straightens up ... that is the main reason for getting the shots almost exactly at the same place every time.

Thanks for the comments.

I do have a supicion that these shots of mine will have more meaning to bike riders than to those that do not ride ;)
