Carrying photography gear on a ride

You couldn't fix your takes by any processing, Johnny.

Latest update: ProClub will fix my Tamron zoom lens at a very low cost. I've ordered the lens cap and hood, these are not cheap, compared.

Compared to Oly glass the Tamron lenses I tried were like using cullet and I never let their cheap price entice me.
But I'm guessing for some, it's an upgrade.

I've come to the conclusion that it's the ability of the photographer, not so much the quality of the equipment that makes a good picture.
The average individual often can't appreciate the fine detail that is so highly valued by professionals.

And then sometimes you get lucky. . .
This first Pic was taken by my cousin who doesn't even own a camera. He's using my Canon G7 with the underwater case leaning over the side of the boat. We tried to get similar photos and none came out as good as this quick point and shoot. It's not particularly high quality but I find there's just something about it that I appreciate.

Moments later I got a massive sting on my waist from a red jellyfish. I saw stars.



Took this pic late at night and there was a low strange ambient light in the area. It was a little bit of a long exposure but no filters or processing. It has such a strange look (almost sepia) that I find it appealing.

You meant Insta360 Ace Pro 2 right?

Too expensive, dont like the foldy screen, I drop my cameras all the time, looks very breakable

Ive got the mini mic, and after some video editor downloading Ive found one that runs well on my pc.
Still not convinced yet.

Its ongoing.

EBR has just updated their servers with Ai_TAFNE (Truth Authenticating Fake News Eliminator) and updates posts it finds ridiculous.

Here's what's really going on. . .

Taking a selfie back in 1985, age 24 Lit by a single bulb. GDR Praktica cameras and Pentacon lenses were not bad at all! (I had to determine the focal distance; it was the distance to the mirror times two)

 

[Gionnirocket]

Nor the camera lens or subjecth are in focus so if you were going for a what not to do....yeah, not bad at all.
Maybe pick up a Pol_a_roid

So guys, I got me a Cotton CCS G3 harness for 1 camera. (A French product. Whatever is shipped by courier from France to Poland takes over a week!)

I could immediately spot a design glitch of this gear. The mounting system here is called Twist & Lock. You are expected to position the camera lens towards the left, insert the mount into the holder and then twist the camera so the lens is pointing down. Then the lock becomes activated. However, the designers have overlooked the fact the centre of gravity of the camera might not necessarily make the lens point down! I will certainly have the camera strap on my neck at all times for extra security!

Also, a camera equipped with anything heavier than a small standard lens makes my lower back hurt! Well... If I want to ride and take photos then I need to suffer!

Could you again recommend a rear rack bag good for securely carrying several lenses? (It needs to be Racktime compatible or good for a generic rack such as Ortlieb Quick Rack).

I use the Ortlieb Bike-Packer Plus. I put cameras and lenses inside ThinkTank holsters. I also have padded lens tubes.

'Six Seconds Of The Life Wasted'

Whats that, shutter speed, burst shots or the DTs?

Six seconds shutter speed, tripod.
Quartz watches forward the second hand in steps. I regret I don't own a mechanical watch where I could get the hand blur in the photo.
