Default Thinking I'm doing a good thing.....

And I get pooped on.

I rigged up a digital camera to my handlebars so that I could take some good shots of us riding or movies when we go through the twisties.

I took pictures and posted them on our local H.O.G. website.

One of the Officers comes up to me and says - "I think you should take more people shots."

There are 3 other people that take digital pictures of "the people" and put them up on the site. (Including this Officer)

How often can you get action shots of the people AND the environment?

I thought I was doing something out of the ordinary and good..........

Check these photos out and let me know what you think.....

They're pretty good except for the glare from the windsheild.

I'd say they're damn good even considering the minor glare.

Looks good to me. I would put them on my table at home if that were my group.

I'd tell him thanks for the criticism, but this is my camera, YOU shoot what you want, I'll shoot what I want.

Tell him to take his own d@mn pictures. Your pics are great. I do the same thing. I bought a Gorilla Pod, put it on the handlebars and take pics and movies.

Tell him you are taking pictures of people actually RIDING not sitting eating or drinking beer. Keep shooting.
