Some pix of me :)

Hey Peeps,

I'm on Uni Holiday and I've been quite keen on photography these days. So I took a little break from everything and went for a nice little bicycle ride on Tuesday.

All four pix attached below were taken by me of myself, with my Cannon A530 camera. How? You may ask.. With a tripod and the self timer with rapid shot function. It was a little tricky but quite fun at the same time. I didn't want to just concentrate on one area of the picture but I have kept a few things in mind for the entire composition.

Just wanted to remind you lot that I'm not just a pretty face

Then yesterday, I felt like I should start to do some new tricks on my bike while pulling wheelies.

I tried sitting on the tank a few times and got a foot high once or twice. That was on my way to work. After work, I asked a work mate of mine to take some pics while I did some practice runs.

Pic 1 - Warming up with a normal sit down wheelie.
Pic 2 - Trying side saddle cause it's different. Haven't seen anyone else try em in real life to be honest. Pretty freaky though. Just with little leg movements, the whole bike goes into a wobble!
Pic 3-4 Some tank wheelies (is that what they call em?). That last one was a pretty good one actually. I carried it for a bit of distance. A shame the photographer was too eager to snap too quickly!

Went for a lil ride to the Kaiuawa fish and chips place with me old mate sAsLEX. Had a nice little ride and Alex was nice enough to take some pics of me while I tried to do some more of the stuff from yesterday. Gettin a bit better I'd say..

Pic 1 Warm up Wheelie

Pic 3 Again side saddle, I'm liking it now!
Pic 4 Standup, I am finding this one the most challenging out of everything else I do ATM.

Don't worry man, I'll hand it in on time. I may miss the deadliness of all the Uni Assignments but I won't be missing the CDS2 submition deadline.

Yea man, pretty anoying. I messed up the settings. I should have just left in Auto mode. Its the same cam that took all the pics in this thread but the noise from today's pics makes em seem like they were taken with a shitty phone cam or somefin.

Cheers heaps for today though.

Hopefully see you Sat.

Cheers for the vids too
