Thanks Lynn. Been making new vids since November. Here's a link to the playlist if you'd like to catch up... ... MIKE🙏😊 ruclips.net/p/PLeu1p5jL9GOOmXoYB60hQmveblSrJXsFq
You could have picked a less embarrassing ‘jumping out of the curtain’ take 😂. Great vid as always Mike, looking forward to a ride out soon! Plus love the guy at 1:43!
Presentation is very important and I don't mean designer clothes either! you looked smart in the new gear! oh and your photography was not bad either, well done and well put together. I enjoyed that. Thank you....
Mike, I love the new motorcycle/photography theme you have. Two of my favorite pastimes/hobbies/escapes. The new gear looks great also! Thank you for the videos Mike.
Love the new gear - especially that helmet! I could use that feature. Love those sunset images at the end with the people coming through. Lovely life moments easily captured. Thanks Mike.
I have been watching your channel for a while and always enjoy all of your videos Mike, the biker ones are the ones I enjoy the most and it will hopefully inspire me to take my camera out more when I am out riding this year.
Thanks fazerman50 fazerman50 . Glad you like them! How about coming on a photo-biker workshop on the New Forest?... MIKE🙏😊 www.photographycourses.biz/workshops/photo-biker-new-forest-workshop
Looks like you had a splendid afternoon and evening journey in your spanking new riding gear. Must say I especially liked the flip down sunglasses in the helmet. As usual you made some beautiful images. Thanks again for this series of videos as they are very relaxing to watch.
I bought a Sony a350 camera body at the end of last year. Great condition for £67. Allied to a Minolta 70-210mm 'Beercan' lens I bought years ago it takes great landscape shots and I love the pictures that I get with this combination. You dont need expensive kit to enjoy photography and take good photos. Agreed!
I always thought you was cool Mike but now with the new biker kit you do indeed look Cool:) What a kind thing Bikerheadz did and when I need some new bike kit I shall look them up:) I've been out with my bike and camara too and even shot my first Pano recently all here in the good old "Shire", Wiltshire:) I showed one my biker friends one of your videos recently and when he saw the bike he said the engines are very over engineered but the forks are prone to burst their seals and indeed there you were fixing the fork seal. Safe riding Sandy
Thanks Sandy. Yep really overengineerd motors. The Red Legend is on it's 2nd time round the mileometer. Strangey, I've never had a fork seal blow apart from that one on the Thunderbird.. ... MIKE🙏😊
Nice threads, Mike. Great to see complimentary brands reaching out and supporting you. Those three shots you took of Mudeford Quay from the Cliffhanger car park might’ve worked well as an HDR. I appreciate it’s a bit challenging without a tripod. As I’ve said before, I really enjoy these photo biking vids as I haven’t got the balls to ride a bike myself! Thanks for all your vids.
I do think that it's as important to look cool when you're riding as the riding itself! 😎😁 Hope you're well my friend. I'm very much enjoying these motorcycle photography shoots.
Magic, Mike. Haha. Love the new gear how good is that. What a great day for a ride. I liked the darker shot, because I always do and the standing shot, you can see more of the curve in the bay looks nicer to me. Workshop on the bikes sounds like a lot of fun.
Thanks Lisa. I think it'll be epic. Last week filmed a ride to double the navigation system so no one gets lost, check timings for the route, time at locations, pubs for lunch along the way etc. The Bikerheadz guys are coming along to show us how to jump through curtains too! If you've got a bike be great to have you on board...... MIKE🙏😊
@@MikeBrowne I will be there with bells on one day, working on a trip to the UK with my daughter. Sounds like road checks for a rally, (I used to be a navigator in another life), a lot of work goes into organising something like that. Jumping through curtains takes a lot of skill........
@@lisasimpson9343 Rally navigator - wow that's exciting. Send us an email via the website contact page when you guys get here. Might be able to get the 'Curtain Flouncers' to do a couple lessons... MIKE 😆
Great video as usual Mike, very informative and inspirational. I am working my way through 7BB right now and the exercises are getting the grey cells working overtime (which is what its all about right). Love the new look by the way - did they incorporate a cup holder in the jacket ?? Thank you for doing these biker videos.
You got this! Keep those brain celles buzzing Roy. I was super lucky Bikerheadz gave me all that gear. They're good guys too. Just heard they'll be making an appearence on the Photo Biker photo workshop coming up in May ... MIKE🙏😊🏍️
Thanks photography_by_j_cedar IG photography_by_j_cedar IG How about you just make a FB profile to join in the challenges? You don't have to post or look at endless pics of people's lunch or read the bollox that's shared around. I don't.. ... MIKE🙏😊
@@MikeBrowne Thanks for the reply. Well, I deleted my FB account over 10 yrs ago for certain personal security reasons. I tried reestablishing it specifically for the challenge, and for some unknown reason, FB will not let me. Disabled permanently for who knows why. It is what it is. Thanks and have a great week..
Great video Mike as usual ive been trying out some focus bracketing on my Fuji ready for the sun when it turns up enjoying it too i found f11 the sweet spot on my Fuji 18 55mm
Love the new gear, and the BikerHeadz guys seem really cool! Still, there’s something to be said for rockin’ the tramp style on occasion! 😄 (PS - I prefer the darker exposure for the Mudeford Quay photo - more “atmospheric”)
We certainly are Neil. When I was a kid I always said I'd go somewhere interesting one day. I'm luckyenough to have been many places around the world that are super interesting - but I still love calling this area home ... MIKE🙏😊
Great video, i'm not a biker but I love these! Could you tell me the bands/artists you use for the sound track in your videos there're perfect for a chilled Sunday!!m
Always love watching your videos. I plan to begin the Masterclass next week while i am down with knee surgery. Is it possible to get definition in the moon while at the same time getting the clouds in the photo? I can either get good definition with a black sky or i can get good cloud composition with just a bright orb.
Thanks @Joshua Thomas. Hope the knee's not too painful and a speedy recovery. To get definition in clouds and moon the broghtness of clouds, sky and moon have to balance. Shooting at twilight works well. Plan when weather and phase of the moon will fall at twiglight and shoot frames as the light levels change until you find one that balances all three. Or you bracket exposures for the moon, sky and clouds and merge them in Lightroom or similar. Hope this helped ... MIKE🙏😊
@@MikeBrowne wow. Yes Indian bikes are kinda tough and rough. Good to connect with you mike. Cheers. Try to come to India/mumbai if ever get a chance. Will host you and wud show you around. Cheers.
Hi Mike...I am wondering if you could share your bike vlogging techniques which would certainly help me as I am about to start doing such. You obviously use a wireless mic and I'm guessing you are recording using a smart phone or GoPro when you record yourself talking to the camera etc. I thought fellow biker/photographers could learn a lot from your experience. Cheers, Mike
You are really talented ... Your videos are a motivation for all of us who are passionate about photos, landscapes ... can I know what motivates you to be so active and how I can become so famous how are you I appreciate you very much and follow all your videos
Wow thank you @Fatjona. Motivation's simple, but not always easy. If you want to do something - just go DO IT. That's the easy part. The harder part is making yourself do it when you don't want to. There's always a cost to anything we want to achieve in life and the reward is ALWAYS on the other side of pain. So how much do you want the reward? Times when I'd rather hang out with friends but have to go shoot a video. Times I want a weekend off, but I got to spend a couple days editing. Times I want to watch a movie, but I got to go spend a couple hours answering comments. ... Times I want to stay in bed - but have to get up at 5.30am so I can film whilst the light's nice... But when you do JUST DO IT you've achieved something no one else has,it feels great, and people ask how do you do it... Hope that helped ... MIKE🙏😊
Hi Dean. Generally manual mode ot perhaps single point. But it depends on the landscape you're photographing. How far away is the point of focus? Is everything beyond the infinity point of the lens you're using/ Is there movement in the shot? Are you isolating part of a scene with shallow DOF or going for maximum sharpness. This is what i mean by many questions I get asked in comments are too big for a quick reply. Please pop by my Masterclass online course which will clear your confusion once and for all - or your money back...... MIKE🙏😊 www.photographycourses.biz/courses/photography-masterclass
Hi Norman. I now just use my Streetwalker hard Drive camera backpak. Straps loose(ish) and base resting on pillion seat to take the weight. Find it quicker and easier than using a tank bag. Video link below which tells you what I use...... MIKE🙏😊 ruclips.net/video/wVp616nYyfM/видео.html
call me crazy..BUT in many pictures i prefer a SUPER wide lens on the gopros..Ive taken a couple decent shots ive really enjoyed with mine. I think the camera is a bit limited sometimes. Strange I know..
I absolutely agree @mikiesonTV. Sometimes I think the GP's looking better than the stills camera. Remember the shots I did with it in the desert a couple vids back. I'll probably do a vid about this kind of thing in the coming weeks... ... MIKE🙏😊
Greetings from New Hampshire, USA. Doing your presentation via motorcycle is one of the best ideas you've had lately. Thank you.

Thanks so much Caitlin ... MIKE🙏😊😎
Love the new clobber Mike, great photos yet again.

@@MikeBrowne Thanks again; always love your work.
I always thought you was cool Mike but now with the new biker kit you do indeed look Cool:) What a kind thing Bikerheadz did and when I need some new bike kit I shall look them up:)
I've been out with my bike and camara too and even shot my first Pano recently all here in the good old "Shire", Wiltshire:)
I showed one my biker friends one of your videos recently and when he saw the bike he said the engines are very over engineered but the forks are prone to burst their seals and indeed there you were fixing the fork seal.
Safe riding
