this is a shot i did for magazine article on motorcycling. my editor basically said he wanted an open road shot of a motorcyclist,i could'nt find an open road to my liking ,so i used this local bridge instead(vincent thomas bridge L.A.) with a canon d60&canon 15mm i sat on the back of the bike reaching my hands/camera under the drivers arms and shot at chest level..it took about 7 shots to get it right. i shot at a fast shutter speed and did the motion blur in photoshop.what fun.
