Let's see some motion ...

[Colyn]

A recent discussion on the Wilddogs forum made me think about this. I have been shooting from the saddle for a long time and all the time I have been concentrating on getting the best from the scenery ... getting some motion was now the mission. So after a few days of rain I managed to squeeze a short run in today.

Here are some of the shots.

I have used the Canon EOS 400D ... TV = 1/20th ... ISO = 100 ... AI Servo.

In order to get the most spectacular effect you need to shoot on a road that is "crowded" by vegetation ... open plains does not result in the same dramatic blurring.

The LT has the advantage of a decent Cruise Control but the cockpit-screen area is big. I will try on the GT next.

This type of shot will be difficult if you do not have a fairly wide angle lens.

Awesome class pictures mate... Brilliant!

You might get rid of the windscreen reflection by using a polarising filter...

This was taken Friday morning during my commute (http://davedragon.rilysi.com/2008/03/bmw-motorcycle-riding-travel-commute_21.html).

No speed blur, just a 45 degree exit ramp at 45mph.

With some nice arcing lines entering the field of view and exiting as well.
