*10/365 Who doesn't like new toys?
Biking is a passion of mine and it's something I can't live without. Since moving down to Boston for college, I tried something new and sold my mountain bike for a bmx. It has since been a year and there is no question that I miss mountain biking. Whether it's speeding down flowy singletrack, working through a gnarly downhill, or just enjoying a classic XC ride; nothing beats biking in New England during the summer and fall. Sharing a ride with good buddies is one of the most enjoyable experiences I can imagine. Although it's still the middle of winter, I'm itching to get back on the trails. To hold me over I've been riding in the living room :) haha.
For this shot I wanted to use my off-camera flash but because I don't have a sync cable I had to improvise. I shot a 0.5 sec exposure at f/22, iso 100. This allowed me to balance the ambient light with the flash, which I held above camera right and triggered during shutter release. I'm hoping to complete my strobist kit by the end of the week so that I can do some proper lighting setups. Regardless though, I'm pretty happy with how this came out!
