Tour de Farsley

After weeks of either being too busy or too lazy I've finally got back in the saddle. Here I'm approaching the ascent of Newlay Locks, you can see the look of steely determination on my face...

Also I'm wearing my birthday top again ( http://365project.org/rich57/365/2011-03-17). It's been washed in between though...

cool shot Richard!

[Dorrena Ortega]

Well, I will give you kudos for heading uphill and snapping a picture. I'd probably end up back down the hill after crashing. ;-)

[SaintSinner]

Awesome selfie!

[andy c]

haha good work... must, must dust off my bike and take it out for a spin one of these evenings...

[Bill Dodsworth]

Hahaha, wonderful capture, a braver man than I!

[robinwarner]

you do look damn serious

[JP]

if your intense expression of concentration is anything to go by, the ascent of Newlay Locks must be very steep! hehehe
great shot Richard!

[Cam]

A great shot, I'd like to know how you took it - or if someone else took it. How did you do that? :)

[Richard Tyson]

@ukcam I just held my camera out arms length in my right hand and held on to the handlebars with my left! Took about 50 shots like this as I cycled along the canal. Most didn't work that well but the angle of the slope and the fact i had to put a bit of effort in to get up the hill seemed to work in my favour!

[Cam]

@rich57 thanks for the explanation... I've said before I wouldn't like to hang my camera out of a moving car... so much less from my bike! Plus I would be a sweaty mess so not very photogenic :)

[Rudi Teruel]

cool capture, richard..... love it in this tone, too....

[peter/zipp]

ha! well done, great action capture.

[Constance Brinkley]

Ha, great action shot and quite the execution. Love the stairs down to the locks in the background. Another creative shot.

[Caroliene]

Great action photo!:-)

[Erin Claire Goodman]

awesome shot! I love a new point of view and this is definitely that! Be careful holding a camera and riding a bike ;) A fav!
