Panning and Biking

Dec 9, 2007

Panning, or tracking the subject with a slower exposure, is something I have almost no experience with. So last night when a few friends (and then their friends) wanted to do some impromptu underground bike racing / messing around I figured I'd bring my camera and see what happened.

Panning Results:

Some bike randomness (and some more panning):

It's cool how friendly fixed gear folk tend to be towards each other.

There's a bunch of photos of the same night on Flickr if you like staring at bikes.

Well, it was only a matter of time

Saw this on Craigslist and could not pass it up.

Bridgestone and I are reunited <3

My place is too damn small to get the whole bike in the photo. Lugged steel, perfect shape, ridiculous deal. Just like last time. It's a shitload of fun to ride, although not having a brake is terrifying. I'm getting one installed tomorrow morning. Also: San Mateo flats != Berkeley Hills, so I'm visiting a friends shop to swap the cog and run a gearing a little closer to 2.4.

Good times.

As I was wandering through Upper Sproul with a friend tonight I happened upon a group of rather skilled fixed gear riders. I snapped off a few shots of them doing their thing. Definitely had me impressed. A few more on Flickr, but these are my favs.

I do want to get me one of these bikes but I just imagine that stuff is ridiculously hard on your knees (all the skidding and so on). Anyone who knows: confirm/deny?
