Take a better picture

Since having a decent digital camera I’ve been subscribed to a number of sites that provide photography tips.
I’m reasonably competent behind the lens but I thought I’d share some of the latest bits that have caught my attention:
Urban Photography from the Digital Photography School blog
For those of you stuck in the City (poor bastards) this [...]

You see speed bumps

I see a challenge!
Yeah I know it’s childish but my new run into work takes me over some lovely shallow speed bumps. Granted I can see how they would cause a problem for cars with all that nasty chassis nonsense but on the bike they become a simple suspension test.
Not that I condone reckless or [...]
