Riding Through an Oil Painting
After a long day at work I found myself watching the sky change colours and jumped on the Tiger for a ride down the river. It felt like riding through a Van Gogh...

Photos are in reverse chronological order. Sunset was at 8:30pm - I was on the road from about 8:10 to 8:50pm.
If you want a breakdown of how to get on-bike 360 photos like this, check THIS out! If you really want to digitally flex, you can create a 360 'tiny planet' stop motion film out of this kind of photography:

Making Miles on the Concours

It's been a long, cold COVID winter #2 and the opportunities to make miles on two wheels have been thin this spring. A warm Sunday to get up to the big water and stare at the blue horizon was much needed.
I had the 360 camera along for the ride and put together a montage using an incredibly complicated process that involves batch processing the 360 panaramas into 'tiny planet' images and then clipping them all together in video editing. It isn't for the faint of heart, but it sure looks unique. This is the how-to if you're feeling brave.

300kms in Two Days
It was a long winter this year, made particularly difficult by grinding through a second year of COVID19. I find a great deal of satisfaction in spannering my own bikes, but that isn't an end in itself for me, riding is. With a few days off work and the weather finally breaking, I got over 300kms while I could. Both the nineteen year old Triumph Tiger and the twelve year old Kawasaki GTR1400 worked like a charm.
