I went out for a little urban session today. I was sure most of the local single track was soggy, so street riding it was. I have a little loop around my neighborhood that I ride from time to time. It consists of several office parks, some jogging trail and a couple of play ground areas. No idea how many miles or that kinda of stuff, just good fun on the bike. I took my canon point and shoot out to get familiar with it's timer/multiple frame functions. The last area i sessioned i set up a couple of shots. The darn thing works pretty well.

I figured out how the timer works…

also multiple frames using the timer delay…

and I worked on some skinny action…

it was a fun day on the bike...

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That last show is sweet.

yeah I was pretty stoked the skinny shot came together... I knew I was not going to have the patience to try it more than a few times. (taking the photo that is) The first time I walked the stairs counting the to myself, just to see if my timing would work out.

(it looks like I'm hopping on one foot)

Then I tried the skinny for the camera... it did not work out so good.

But the second time i tried riding the wall for the camera it worked and i got the images to make the composite in the first post.

What kind of camera? That is pretty sweet...

I picked up a Canon powershot A570 IS a few weeks ago for everyday trail ride kinda stuff. The little bugger works better than I expected for the $150 i spent on it.

Yeah there was some post processing, but nothing other than my usual color correction and a little contrast adjustment for the ones in the first post. Well that, plus stitching the images together and adding the company tag.

what is your "normal" color correction/contrast adjustement? what exactly do you do to get the bright almost "slide film" look?

 

[highrevs]

First and foremost it’s all about nailing the exposure.
During PP I use levels/curves to pick the white and black points in the image and adjust the mid-tones a touch in a brighter direction. That removes any colorcast and brings a little more detail out in the mid-tones. After that it’s playing with the contrast and sometimes a little hue/saturation adjustment to get a look my eye likes.

A group of us went out for a little urban ride Tuesday evening. There was about eight of us for most of the ride. The weather was awesome with the temps in the upper 60s and a little breezy. We were only harassed by the popo once. (Some one was spotted riding a manual down the sidewalk or something&#8230 anyway the few pictures from the night.

The only riding shot of the night

I'm digging this little point and shoot.
