[Closed] Weekend photo thread?

That first one in particular is pretty damn good. The colour and light is amazing. You say someone rode through you set? are you a professional photographer? how long did it take to set up that shot?

.duncan - i just had a look through your photoset on flickr. I am blown away by a load of your pictures. My girlfriend is a photographer and last year there was a graduation fare where everyone shows off there final work and hand on heart yours is up there with the best.

Keep up the good work. You have a real talent. 😛

I totally agree with Mactheknife.

not in your league , taken on my iphone, but the colours sum up the weather IMHO .

I agree, Duncan has some amazing shots there. Sorry to hear about your mugging.

My only shot so far from the weekend....
A hot day.

Nothing good from me this weekend but just to echo the comments on .duncan's pics - really very good indeed.

Now for something completely different...

ah thanks,

by set i meant where we had cameras set up and were about to release our paintball smokebomb which provided our light rays.

came across some strange folk today on this afternoon's ride... a few to many inspired by LOTR on C4 last night

That first shot is amazing. You set off some smoke to get that effect? Is that a recognised technique? Anyway great to see some more of your photos!

I´ll put up some tomorrow, taken some average photos in some amazing places yesterday!

Up on the burnt bit of cannock after the recent fire.

Bloody batteries were flat on my camera yesterday so only not worth showing iPhone pics. Pity too as did a big ride through some of Northumberland finest countryside and views.

Duncan that first pic is truly stunning.

Saturday: Isle of Cumbrae (on bikes) with the kids being nice to each other for once...

A few more [url= http://prettysweetmtb.blogspot.com/2010/05/rail-2-trail.html ]here[/url] for anyone interested/bored on monday morning.

Finally got my photos uploaded from the weekends epic riding! Like I said before average photos in amazing places.

From Saturday's ride. Over 2km vertical but lots of climbing on totally absorbing contour singletrack where a badly timed pedal stroke meant some air time! Not a route for everyone but one I enjoyed a lot!

Edit: Meant to attach this one. I'm not sure if the colours come across (my computer screen has gone dodgy and I think my camera might be playing up) but it was totally psychedelic with the new spring leaves above and old autumn ones below.

Nice pictures Graham. That's inspired me to visit the butterfly park near us actually. Ta.

No technical expertise like above, but some semblance of atmosphere -

Hot and sweaty on Great Pinseat, Swaledale, on Saturday. That was about half-way through the 125km ride.

Back in Calderdale for the first time in ages, managed to find some nice trails that we only vaguely remembered. Damn hot day, went through 3 litres of water and still felt slightly queasy at the end of the 5 hours

Great shot Dennis

Uplift at Inners, ****ing hot 8)

4th drop @ Caddon Bank? I've done that (once, bottled it first time!), and I think I just touched cloth as I hadn't realised it was *quite* so big till now!

Grum - Awesome!! What kit?

Simon - Like that!

very early ride on sat. morn.

Cheers Will - Panasonic G1, mostly with 45-200mm and a Raynox DCR 250 Macro adapter. Also with a diffused flash gun on the top of the camera.

Well that produced brilliant results!

like your first pic - hope you don't mind but I had a quick play with it in Lightroom.

Absolutely not Grum - I have no eye for post-production, so fill your boots!

I guess we'll turn around and go back then
