No you're wrong - pics are great. Shakey cold hands, rain drops on the lense adds to conveying what was happening! Should've stuck 'em on the wires thread though, so when I look again when next ride on, I'll be reminded that it's much warmer an drier staying home and wimping out.

Good work all you guys that went. Yer blood's worth bottling.

Your pix set the scene perfectly........ I know how hard it is to get camera out and working in conditions like that, big ups to ya.. :Punk:

I'm on the look out for a 'cheap' weather resistant camera, must have a view finder to eliminate shake and taking pix of stuff either side of subject. I want to be able to get quick, easy snaps during trail rides and the gear I'm using would require a trailer.... :laugh:

seen the olympus mju series cameras?

they're just a basic point and shoot normal user digital camera, but with 100kg crush rating, a few meters drop rating and a few meters waterproof rating. so far we've had one for 2 years and my mrs hasnt broken it, it must be tough!

no viewfinder though, only a decent sized lcd screen

Yeah I've seen them, nice, but I bought a flash (excuse the bad pun) Sony point and shoot with all the bells and whistles. Really nice camera, ($700 worth... :shit: ) but the lack of a view finder renders it almost useless when trying to shoot moving subjects (includes downed riders writhing in pain... :whistle: ) and makes using 'burst' near impossible...... The search continues............

Agreed........... But does your camera insurance cover suicide? :eek:
