This is an small idea that I had the other night and got around to shooting on my way home from work last night. Sort of like a self portrait, but with a bit more life and character.
As it were, shooting the photos was much harder than I anticipated. I had set up with my tripod and trusty intervelometer. But then came the timing. On my 30d you can get just over a 3 second burst of photos on the high setting, so I had to set my delay from hitting the button, jumping on my bike, pedaling up, and finally jumping onto the wall.
I think I have between 75 and 100 pictures of just a blank wall and maybe 30 more of myself much to early or too late. Also this is a spot a good friend showed me about a week ago. Normally I can do my little wall rides over the squares, but the whole time I was going at these I couldn’t focus on the trick because I was straining my ears to hear the shutter go.
All in all, fun project, I’m never doing it alone again though. It would have been a very easy to have another person there to ride or on trigger.
Though this does portray me fairly well I feel, right down to the, “Blah, there’s a lot going on!”
This is fantastic!
Thank you. I think I’ll be able to do them much better in the future with that whole learning curve thing. 😉
Good stuff, I wish i still had my 30D – but the sensor was covered in dust & playing with Aperture to fix virtually every photo I took became unbearable.
This takes self portraits to new extremes 😛 So cool! And I love your bike!
Hehehe Thanks!
