Jim Thode

SW Washington State, USA

The weather here in western Washington was almost like summer so I got the scooter (1979 Low-rider, Shovelhead) out to blow the cobwebs off. Of course I had to take my camera. I think I can improve on this idea but it is kind of what I was looking for. It is not that sharp and I think the camera should be a little higher and I probably could find a more picturesque location. I adjusted the neck strap as short as it would go and added a bungee cord over the top to hold the camera to my chest, then set the shutter release to timer. I used the manual 16mm lens for the large depth of field and wide angle.

What if you had a passenger sit behind you and hold the camera up in front and manually release the shutter?
