Bike Ride

Mountain bike ride on Doctor George Mountain.

This video is part of the learning process, preparatory to my next desert trip, when I hope to do some motorbike in the sand dunes videos.

So, what do you reckon? Please let’s know in the comment box below.

    lol, im glad it says mountain bike at the top or else i would have to inform you that something may be seriously wrong with your motorbike.

    Great vid though, i like the effects :) Where was the camera mounted?

    G’day Ryan. Great to hear from you.

    I shortened the neck strap up and placed some elastic around my body, over the straps, to cut down the wobbling.

    It still gets the wobbles up a bit when I pedal hard. I’ll need a better bra strap. That should stop the wobbles.

    The part I like best is the effect coming up the hill into the sun after the ride down Dr. George Mountain. With the wobbles of the camera and the sun flaring out the image it’s all a big mystery. Looks dangerous and unpredictable with a clear view of the road lost to the lighting effect.

    It’s a digital still camera with video ability. A 2GB card is good for nearly 50 minutes at 30 fps at small image size.

    Thanks,
    Laurie.

    Laurie,
    Just been up and down the mountian with you. I liked the view of your shadow. I thought the camera work was okay. There wasn’t much jigging about going on. Very good. Beth

    Laurie, I feel your pain when you are going up the hills! Are you and David still off to the dunes?
