Title: Taking pics while riding.
Post by: klaviator on September 03, 2020, 12:53:10 AM
When I'm out riding I normally have a camera hanging from a strap around my neck.  That way I can grab it with my left hand and take a pic when I see something interesting.  I don't have to stop, take off my gloves, dig my phone out of my pocket and then take a pic. 

I was out riding today and snapped this pic while riding.  Never would have got it with a phone.

He would have been outta sight by the time I grabbed the camera! But you were just taking the picture of the road and foliage, wurencha!

Anyone who can grab a camera, turn it on, point and shoot while that deer was still in the air......is....

Deer gets 7.5 style points though....might have over-rotated just a touch.

I was riding along and saw the deer running to my right and thought he might just try to cross the road ahead of me so I slowed down and got my camera ready.  A few seconds later the deer jumped the fence to my right and crossed the road.  It takes me a few seconds to grab my camera and turn it on.  No way I could have caught it if the jump across the road had been a complete surprise.

Earlier in the ride I caught some other deer as I was riding but they were just standing there.
