Look Ma no hands!

This pic was shot after this one because I wanted it "freehand"
I used my new Sigma 10mm wideangle-lens.

That's a neat shot, I would never try it. Bound to fall of the bike and have to go to casualty to get the camera removed from some part of my body where it would become lodged..
