My first MTB photos (from Dalbeattie on Saturday)

geeteewmb · May 2007

(Excuses first) I am aware they are all majorly flawed, but it's my first time taking MTB shots, and I only got my point and shoot camera is fairly recently, so be gentle [;)]

They are taken from Dalbeattie on Saturday - what a day. My fav trail centre so far.

Pics

P.S. I was actaully there on my bike, although there aren't any pictures of me [:I]

I think you'll find that "Derek showing how big the slab really is" is in fact Dave!! [:o)]

They're actually quite good Allan, especially for a first go. I like the close up of me showing how scary my concentration face is!

Any idea when you'll be able to get the videos on youtube? I want to see if I make any shrieks on the qualifier? [;)]

Oh christ.... more horrible pics of me!![:0]
The rest are great though. Good effort Allan. The closeup of Hamish is good, and you've got the slab looking steep.

Very nice. Some great pics and awesome weather by the looks of it. Like the look of Dalbeattie as well. May well be doing a 7stanes week in the summer and those drops and the slab definitely warrant a visit. Nice!

What's the point-and-shoot? Is it you who went for the Fuji F-31FD (memory of a seive me - sorry!)

I'm thinking that, for Saz to be happy with her photos we'll need her to wear fake tan, take a photographic make up team, a couple of reflectors and studio based soft boxes/flash and that's before the airbrushing work in photoshop.

Whereas Derek's happy with a bit of tilting and Dave doesn't care as long as he's in a photo or two.

I'm just going to plug my Dalbeattie photos, for anyone who didn't look in our Dalbeattie riding thread, so they can see what all the tilting and vanity is about. [;)]

BTW Hamish, any of me that turned out from Saturday? My wife wants to see me in my 'get-up'

I think there were a couple, Allan. I've not finished sorting them yet. If they're not worthy of my flickr site then I'll Email you them.

I don't respond well to threats, saz.

And all these flapjacks taste the same to me anyway.

What's the address then, Foz?
