If this is from last night, who is it who's wearing shorts?

That´s Chris from Fixed Gear London, he seemed to have a habit of wearing short.

Nice to finally meet you face-to-face, pajamas. Shane it was as you were leaving! Maybe I'll actually get chance to talk to you next week?!

hey man - yeah was good, though you were rockin' that bike far too well - bmxers eh..?! As I said I'm sure we said hi the week before but it is dark up there... not sure I'll be along next Tuesday yet, may well be putting in a final practice run of the night ride I've sorted out. be the one after that if not.

Cool. Whenever. Enjoy the night ride. I'll have to get in quicker if I want to ride the next one!

my bike wont be sorted by next week but i might come along to take pics, and i have a backpack with built in stereo i can bring too... maybe someone will be kind enough to let me have a go on theirs...

all photo's now up in my original post :) posted at quite a low res (96ppi) for speedy upload, if anyone wants higher res copies of the pics shoot me a pm on here, fair bit of digital noise as I had to shoot at iso800 to get a half decent shutter speed, I need to bite the bullet and invest in a d3, the best don't come cheap tho :(

Good job. I shall be expecting even better next week now that you've had some practice!

haha cheers man, I may or may not be down on the next tuesday, I've got a freelance job that could well be running into the late hours, if I can get away at anything resembling a reasonable time I will pop down for a bit of a ride. Really wish I could afford a Nikon D3 at the moment, think i'll be doing some hard saving next year!

Keep that job going, stop drinking quite so much, and you might be able to afford it soon! ;-)
Well done for getting some work as freelance in this 'difficult time'!

But it fuels my creative talents......Honest! D3/beer.......decisions....decisions.

then get a D700, unless you're a serious photojournalist for instance, there isn't much point in getting a D3.

in fact, just stop worrying about the camera, worry about the photo instead, my mate has been taking portrait of Cherie Blair, David Walliam, Gal Porter, etc. and already got some recognition base on some of the photo and were able to get a decent living out of it.

the camera he used? his old Canon 20D with the standard shitty 18-55mm lens, that it.

Or a serious sports photographer, or a serious action photographer. Or maybe a full time interior photographer who also shoots action sports , and various commercial jobs freelance (that would be me) who requires serious durability and the ultimate in high iso performance and high speed low light auto-focus from a camera that can only be found in a pro-body such as the D3?......With all due respect Ed I earn my living from my camera, I have been a professional for several years, I make a decent living from it, and I understand enough about photography to worry about the photo more than the camera. I've used most of the Nikon range at some point, currently using a d300 and have used both the D3 and the D700, owned a D200 and a D80 in the past.
Yes the D3 and D700 both have the same sensor and viewfinder, and high iso capability, however the D3 has the durability of a proper pro-body, superior auto-focus capabilities and a couple of other very useful bits that I can't be bothered to ramble on about, but if you are spending all day using your camera they make it that much more pleasant/quicker/enjoyable to use. The long and the short of it is, I know its about the photographer, not the camera, but no one can deny the creative opportunities opened up by having capabilities that are not present on a lower spec camera, for now though I will "suffer" my d300 until I have some spare cash for a D3. I respect what your mate is doing, if alot of the amateurs knew what some professional fashion/commercial/portrait photographers use i'm sure they would get a nice shock and worry less about what gear they have to HAVE!.......lets just say its not all hasselblad and phase one elitist shit out there in the studios.

Hey Woah Woah, this is a trick thread not a geek thread! Steady on now boys.

fair play, back to the bikes! I just got some new clips and slightly bigger pedals I can't wait to try out, should give a bit better leverage for skids, wish the weather would improve a little though, hey lurker/phil, are you going to the macaframa premier thing on saturday? if so wanna meet up grab some beers or something before? also anyone else, maybe get a pre-party posse going?

Believe it or not, I haven't actually heard about this yet! Where/when and so on?

Right here: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread13405.html looks like a good laugh :)
