I didn&#8217;t actually end up riding the bike, the camera was too much in the way, so I pushed it down the trail. Hence the comment about almost falling over a few times. I&#8217;m sure that I looked pretty silly to the cross country skiers who passed me.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I didn&#8217;t use the self timer, instead I used the D700&#8217;s Interval Shooting Mode. I programmed the camera to take a series of 9 shots, each one second apart. I&#8217;d get all set up, hit OK on the camera and take off running with the bike.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and yea I know, I got the stud size wrong. The two screw sizes on the standard studs are the 1\/4&#8243; and the 3\/8&#8243;. Hey, give me a break, it was cold outside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edit: <\/strong>This shot below was featured as a double page section opener in the October 2011 issue of Alaska Magazine. <a href=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/recent-publication-alaska-magazine-october-2011\/\">See the published version here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC04081.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3399\" title=\"_DSC0408\" src=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC04081.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC04081.jpg 700w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC04081-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC04081-600x399.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC0350.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3408\" title=\"_DSC0350\" src=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC0350.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC0350.jpg 466w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC0350-300x451.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC0350-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And now for the first time ever on this blog- Video!
