motion

my very own Social Network Pause Button. No inbox. No RSS. No IM. Nothing but me, my bike, and the wind.

Idea taken from Jen's photo which was in turn a response to Merlin's post.

At first I didn't like the overly blurred photo, but this works for me on so many levels. The motion blur, and slight blur of the bike itself. That's what it feels like when I'm riding. Reality blurs. It's just me, in focus, and everything else just blurs by as I pass through. The only other way I could describe it would be like The Ring Effect, when Frodo slips that sucker on...

This was taken at about 25km/h, riding uphill into a 50km/h headwind, with my Canon XT tightly wrapped around my left hand as I leaned out to get the shot :-)
