In the first post in this series we discussed some tips about taking documentary images of bicycles. While that is a very good place to start, there is so much more to bicycles than just a sum of it’s components. Bicycles are one of the most efficient and elegant machines mankind has ever created. So why not show off just how beautiful bicycles really are. (Please note that most of the images in this article are not mine and I did attempt to get permission to use them, as a result some of the images may change over time.) We are not professional photographers but dabble in both photography and cycling. Do not take this article as the gospel on artistic bicycle photography but rather a starting point to spur your imagination.
Things that just don’t fit in the other categories
Saw the surgeon for a follow-up and gave him my idea of when I wanted to be back on the bicycle. I was surprised by his answer, he agreed. So basically I am just waiting for the drainage hole in the incision to completely heal. Once that is done I am riding again. Just in time too as I am about 15 pounds heavier than I was last year, and no cycling since April has got me on edge.
This is the first in a series of articles offered as a suggestion on how to photograph your bicycle. These are not hard and fast rules and you have plenty of room for artistic expression. There are just a few things that you should know about how to take simple documentary types of photographs for your collection or for sending to your cycling associates via email or for posting on various bike related forums. We are not professional photographers nor professional cyclists but we have a passion for both and want to pass on some of the things we have learned along the way. Hope you enjoy it.
Maybe I shouldn’t write this under the influence of narcotics, but there still is a lot of pain! Between the shoulder blades and in the upper muscle of the left arm. It is all but barely tolerable. The medication still seems to be working and last night was the first night that I actually slept for a complete 5 hour stretch without awakening or tossing and turning. That is an improvement.
It is Sunday morning the third day post surgery. I am very sore and the drain they put in my back is still oozing. My neck hurts even after taking the oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets (Percocet) as per doctors orders. I am also taking celecoxib tablets (Celebrex) to fight inflammation. Here is a brief description of what I have experienced the last few days.
… and counting!
So with that said, I will be taking a few days off from posting until I recover from neck surgery. Before you know it, back on the bike too! Yeah!!
