Photo Assignment: Weekend 10/13/07

I found this group while enjoying the perfect fall weather on Cape Cod. More pictures from the weekend.

The angle of the sun was difficult to work with, but I loved the subject matter.:D

Dynamic Group Therapy

The goal this weekend was to finish all the little things that needed fixing around the house before Sunday afternoon and the approching winter, then go for a ride soaking up the fall color. Just as I was getting the bike ready to go, I noticed some termites at the garage door, yikes! Long story short, by the time I found, purchased and applied the various chemicals to keep the termites away, the day was over. So here's my Sunday evening contribution to Group Dynamics. Cheers!

This is a great shot! I really like the motion, and the sharp focus.

Nice photo.

Details, how did you do that shot. What camera and settings?

That's a cool shot, Voni. I like how you included both angles of the RT.

I know I'm having fun when I look around a see a parking lot like this!
 
I realize BeerTeam's question is not posed to me. It did pop up while I was cogitating on the very same question, though. . . .

Am I way out, or are both the six-pack and the camera moving? Camera on a tray? Maybe you don't want to tell us. I know, genius is a selfish mistress.

I just wanted to weigh in with a well-deserved, "cool shot."

Really interesting shot, Stealthrider. Interesting composition--answers the theme well. Neat composition, unexpected form.

What better group dynamic than BMW riders reuniting!

I can feel the energy.

Great shot!

Thanks, I wanted to generate some questions as to how I made this, so thanks for asking.

Tom, your guess is almost right on as to how I made the shot. I used a 1X6X10 inch plank for the six pack to rest on, then clamped a camera mount to the board, attached the camera and composed the beverages leaving room for the bike while I still had the "rig" on my workbench. Then, I picked up the whole rig, walked over to the bike and just shot several frames moving the rig and camera with the bike stationary in the background. I also used a work light to light everything. The whole setup took about 5 minutes. Oh yeah, I used a point and shoot Canon SD850 set to macro setting, the exposure was about one quarter of a second and aperture was around 5.6, I'll have to look in the metadata for exact specs.

I'm really enjoying the "themes" that are being tossed out at us, Thanks Tom.

Thanks for sharing your technique with us. You are a clever and inventive photographer, which is why, I suspect, unlike the rest of us, you actually get paid for it!

Ain't the "Photo Assignment" threads fun?
