Light Pool Landscape Photography - Road To Shaftesbury [Mike Browne Photo Biker 3]

[@Topsyrm]

I've already said it Mike but am not ashamed to say it again I am loving this Bike/Photography new style of video. It encompasses both of my passions, please keep them coming. 👍

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Topsyrm. Will do my friend... MIKE 🙏😊

[@MrRoyGS]

I will say after watching countless photography videos as far back as 10 years ago, Mike has to be the most descriptive and instructional photographer I’ve seen. I like that he talks through his thought process to help us, the viewer know what he’s doing. One thing I need to work on is being patient and wait for the right moment. Easier said than done.

[@MikeBrowne]

🙏Thanks Roger. Happy to have helped.. As my mum used to say. Patience is a virtue.. MIKE 😆

[@denisesavage2382]

Ah noice!!!! My favourite bit was the Zig Zag road with the classical music. I found myself changing gears and leaning into the bends . . . oh so sweet!! Wonderful bits of light up on the chase and a great ride. Thanks so much Mike.

[@MikeBrowne]

Ha ha- thank you Denise...MIKE 🙂🙏🏍️

[@brandonprescott5753]

As someone who does not live in the UK, it is great to see all these small countryside villages and views. The photography/motorcycle ride combination is a winner. Once again well done Mike. 👏👏👏

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Brandon. More in the pipeline...MIKE 🙏😊

[@desgardner7169]

Shaftesbury what a lovely place to take anybody but it was so dull!.......but the bike ride was great! Thank You.

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Des - Light is always what makes or breaks all images ... MIKE 🙂🙏

Hi Mike, this concept of bike/photography is 'Brilliant', and, no coffee spills to worry about this time..!

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Laurence. Good to hear... MIKE 🙏😊

[@nickhumphrey1313]

Another good video Mike. I find myself watching the road with you, noticing pot holes, wet leafy corners and drain covers. There's so much more to riding than mere mortals realise! And then there's the scenery too!!!!!

[@JonathanKimberley]

And the vehicle that initially looked like it was going to pull out from a side road.

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Nick. Yes sure is a lot to look out for but lyou know that well eh. I expect like me, you avoid manhole covers, leaves, wet white lines, gravel on auto pilot... ... MIKE 🙏😊

[@MikeBrowne]

I thought it was going to pull out too Jonathan. Never trust until eye contact is made... ... MIKE 🙏😊

[@davidharris3823]

Crepuscular (sunlight) rays, always enjoy seeing them. We see them because sunset / sunrise passes through up to 40 times as much air as light from a high midday sun. Great inspiring video, thanks for sharing.

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you David...MIKE 🙏😊

[@laureenignarro8030]

I love the way you get awesome shots with just an every day walk around kit lens 🙃

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Laureen, but in all honesty cameras and lenses don't take pictures. We take pictures by using light, composition and knowing what settings do. 18-55 is my favourite focal range - most of the images in the gallery link below were taken on one if you're interested... ...

Another banger of a video. It's not only for the ride(getting some great lean angle) and the photography skills, it's also those bits of info and history of the area. Plus the humour is always there.. "get off my land". Brilliant video Mike, I cant wait for the next one.

I am really enjoying these videos, I used to drive across Cranborne Chase every week in the 1970’s in my Morris Minor when I worked near Ringwood, I remember Zig Zag hill well. Thanks also for the photography tips I generally wouldn’t take my camera out on dull days but you are showing it can be worth it.

[@irenecarson9628]

Thank you, Mike, for putting this together! Light is King... but it is a temperamental ruler. We encountered our first gridlock and did the Can-Can down the Zig-Zag. The cherry on the cake was that golden pool of light! Further moments showed that we do not always get what we want but it is still worth looking for it. And be ready to pounce when it does happen.

This video is superb, great journey seeing places I have never been to before, learning about them too with the historical information you are telling us, beautiful light all the way along the ride, lots of photographic formation, showing us how to capture some wonderful, interesting imagery. These bike ride videos make me feel so good and relaxed, you are so enthusiastic, makes me want to get out there with my camera and do some scenic photo work right now. Thank you so much Mike.

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you George. Delighted you're enjoying them buddy... MIKE 🙏😊

[@ChrisHunt4497]

Thanks Mike. Lovely scenery again. Great ride too. Loved that you acknowledged the horse riders. When I used to ride horses, it was the pedal cyclists that scared the horse b/c they could not hear them when they came past. Love the Can Can music too!! 👍👍

[@MikeBrowne]

Glad you enjoyed it Chris. I grew up riding horses from year 1 (was like a Thelwell kid with my little legs poking out sideways😆) and it used to piss me right off when motorists didn't have any consideration around them.

I live in Shaftesbury & loved the video. You drove past the entrance to Guy Ritchies house (Tollard Royal) & the big white house you filmed and photographed is Fern house. It's owned by the owner of the Mirror group newspapers.

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks. Glad you liked it. I alwys wondered what that house is, thought it might have been Guy Ritchie's place. Thanks for clearing that one up. Met him once in the old garage on the road out to Salisbury and had a long chat about motorbikes and old Landrovers. Nice bloke... MIKE 🙏👍😊

[@johncantrell614]

Great video mike, some of the scenery that went by you remind me a bit of here in South Carolina, on the road between Mount Pleasant and George Town. You leave the city, go through a few small town and rural neighborhoods, a little farm areas, and then before you know it you come around a corner, and giant marshlands open up around you, blanketed by pine trees and the international water way . When the light is right, you would love it. Thanks for sharing, you make me want to go out and buy another motorcycle!😂 Would love to take a trip over there and go on a two wheeled adventure, but I would have to adjust myself first. During all the riding scenes, I kept mentally trying to ease the bike over to the right side of the road!🤔🙄😂

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks John. Never travelled in the US and always wanted to. Maybe one day I'll come over. There's talk about doing a motorcycle travel photo ride workshop over here with my buddy Neale Bayly who's in North Carolina. He does a lot of stuff with The Barber Motorcycle Museum...

Watch out for shoops on the those twisties, Mike! Another great vid, but if I don't stop watching it, I'll be VERY tempted to get another bike.

@@MikeBrowne Shoops: very slow, low flying clouds that drift across roads in packs. Usually uttering the sound, "baa". Known to be a hazard to carefree, innocent motorcyclists.
