Don't try this at home

Took the little fella for a ride down the river. Couldn't resist this shot.



Be warned, don't try it... very nearly came off. Shooting at 12mm I didn't realise how close I was to him a few seconds after this, and there was a clash of tyres.

Re: Don't try this at home

Great shot. The motion blur works really well.

I'd be extremely impressed if both hands were on the handle bars

Ok that was a poor joke.

Scharf.

I did shoot a couple with my right hand steering as well. Then I thought about cloning in the hand, and having a 'how did I do this?' comp.

It really was quite a silly thing to do. Lookign through the viewfinder gives you such a distorted view.

Re: Don't try this at home

Nice! I can't believe you used the viewfinder though! At such a wide angle you'll have such a massive DoF with even a reasonable apeture - say f8. Surely a case for shooting from the hip (or handlebar!)

Well worth the peril though
