I cycle to the train station and there is a secure facility outside that is accessed by electronic key fob you pay for.

Tonight as I was getting my bike I realised about six or so youths were hanging about outside eyeing up the bikes and scooters. I was honestly ready for something to kick off as I came out, so started my camera before I exited. 

In fairness to souteastern I didn’t have to go to the station to alert them, someone already had, and as I was coming out two security guys were walking over and confronted them. I gave them my details and they told me I could stay with them if I wanted as some of the youths and scarpered somehwere and might be watching.

Another reason to run a camera!

Yeah, If you could explain how I can levitate out of a secure area with one exit that’d be great. FML.

Well I’m not looking for Ansel Adams quality, I just take a small camera that fits in a pocket.

I agree. Making good photographs invariably requires time, concentration and patience. I find that while cycling I’m too keen to keep moving.

As for carrying a camera (SLR or mirrorless type) while riding, Chipps of Singletrack mag used to have some kind of chestpack that made his DSLR easier to carry yet still accessible. But you’d still be limited as to number/size of lenses etc you can take with you and any type of bag can be a hindrance on a bike ride.

Yep, they’re great. It’s just carrying that big black cloth, the tripod and the phosphorescent flash apparatus that’s a bit of an encumbrance.

The other problem is carrying kit; I don’t like cycling wearing a rucksack, and there’s not enough padding on a pannier bag.
One day I’ll crack how I’m going to do it …

Something I’ve been meaning

Something I’ve been meaning to ask – does anyone else take a camera with them when cycling? I don’t mean a bike camera, just a normal camera for taking photographs. I take an old film camera with me when I’m out and about. Half the time I forget about it or I’m in too much of a rush to stop and take pictures. I need to stop rushing about so much. I have eleven cameras now, god only knows why, I can’t seem to stop buying them. Just seen another on ebay which looks quite nice. My favourite is an old half frame camera, I can usually get 75 photo’s from a 36 exp film. A proper Yorkshireman’s camera
