January in Austin, Texas

It was really nice here on Saturday, and I've been wanting to shoot rolling photos for a long time, so I finally rigged my camera up to my bike and went on a cruise with the boys. I thought some of you trapped in the polar vortex could use some sunny inspiration, and I also just really like how these came out. I attached a photo of the basic setup also.

Cool shots, neat set up!

A tip of a frosty one to you.

EVERYTHING is frosty here.

Cool! Looks like you've got it aimed rearward? Can you also do motion video?

That is the only photo I have of the setup from that day. The guy on the navy Harley took it, I was distracted trying to make sure I didn't scatter thousands of dollars of equipment all over the road, haha. I'll be doing the same thing soon, and will return with more detailed photos.

Yeah, I tried turning it forward at the end of the day, but I was worried about debris damaging the lens element. They're not exactly made to be put face first into 70mph winds. I have a DSLR that shoots video, but since the arm is solid mounted and the bike/road vibrates so much, I don't think any usable video would come from this setup without additional dampening (I just need to figure out how to hang a Glidecam from my bike).
