Fab, it's really on theme and has great punch and vibrancy, with a great sense of speed in the blur. Love it! Tim

I love the way this put the viewer in the seat of the motorcycle. I've never ridden a motorcycle before (closest I've been was a tuned-up moped)... I need to try mounting the camera to my body when I ride my bike (bicycle - my main means of transportation).

Well, this probably has one of my votes. This is nicely done! Best Wishes, Traveller

Great idea and good result but I think it would look even better with a little more speed to blur out the edges more. Easy for me to say when I don't know how rough that bridge is...

Thanks for the comments. Sharon, the chest mount was something I made and I don't know that you can buy anything similar. You can see a few more pictures and some details at: http://www.pbase.com/jimthode/harleypics Jim

This is fun, Jim! The chest mount is a great idea, did you rig that yourself or is it something we can all buy? Although, I don't know how exciting a chest mounted photo of my next walk would look! This really puts us into the action, driving right into the perspective. And, I like how we can just see your head in the left mirror. ~Sharon

This is a fun picture. It puts a smile on my face every time I look at it.

Nice distance+motion perspective.Wow-- sharp at 1/30 second! My hands aren't nearly that steady; maybe I should consider a chest mount :) My only quibble is how the road goes blurry so abruptly on the left, while on the right the transition is smooth. Maybe a dab of motion-blur would help. Small matter--I really like this one. .. Lew
