Default Went for a ride yesterday, took a good pic

It was a warm sunny day yesterday so I went for a ride. I put my camera on my passenger foot peg, I love this pic







These are pics I've posted further down in the thread...












The screenshot came from around 2:15 into the video, sorry about the size of the video I didnt wanna wait while my computer slowly processed the full 1080 vid

Okay, dumb question (guess I'm not up on current photo techniques), but how do you snap a photo when your camera is way down there? Remote? Still from a video?

I used a GoPro Hero2 camera with the "roll bar" mount on my passenger foot peg. This is just a still from one of the videos I took. Thanks for all the feedback.

Is there a setting on the camera to bring the foreground into focus? Or better yet a depth of field setting to bring the whole picture into focus?
