IR in the park, n the ballin photo bike......

Today I continued my never ending search for other cool places to shoot at. The list of awesome places keeps on growing along with the ideas. Meanwhile only getting schedueles and time to line up holds me back from getting these concept/fashion/portraits done. Anyone want to go shooting or model for a lil bit???

A little of the side path on the backside of the Civic Center
The new bridge well, like only a few years old, across the fox.

The Area I was shooting at and the Photo Bike
The Photo Bike and path.

Bike by Mongoose, Adaptation by Dan.

Photo Bike V1, This thing is awesome, Only the front brake works, and partially at that. The main shift is rigged up to what used to be the rear brake handle and I think that's about it for it's absurdly "Unique" operational "Differences". Besides that though this thing is packin heat. A Is my flash/lighting bag with: 2 SB-28DX's, 1 SB-26, 2 home made Table light stands, 2 Cactus Recievers and 1 Trigger, 2 Sets of Rosco Sample Packs, Bungee balls, Velcro straps, Alcohol bottle bottom diffuser, Extra Batteries, 2 Black Flags, and a Snoot. Then B is a collection of, 1 old Projector stand turned Light stand, 1 Folding Music Stand turned lightstand, 2 43" Wescott Umbrellas, and a Monopod. And that set gets strapped to the horizontal bar and the seat making one very mobile and offroadable Light kit.
This little guy was on my bike when I returned to it.

wait now, are those glares natural?

i like the horizontal one a lottt, the one withOUT the glare.

Yeah those glares are natural, the 16-35 isn't really the best at controling it either, huge front element attracts glare like none other. I'll try it again with out the uv filter on and see if it's any better.

Yeah, I'm not very fond of the glares either. They take too much attention away. The horizontal one is pretty rad, I agree. I think the color range in the first picture is pretty cool though - just a pity that the glare is so apparent.
