Shoot and Ride Review: January 2021

[@unparalleledtwin901]

Thank you for including me in this dude! Really appreciate it! Always loved your idea of #shootandride and have found it be a great ethos & motivator for getting out pappin' & braappin'! Should've subbed sooner! P.S I'll take 'creamy' 😂🤙

[@GregVillalobos]

Creamy..... 😂. Need a 'Pappin & Brappin' sticker now!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Dude! Thank you! I'm so honored to have been included. Thank you for your mega kind words too! Wow! Much love from lock-down Vanessa PS let's go for a ride when we can!

[@GregVillalobos]

Get yourself up north and we can hit the trails. :-)

[@TheGirlOnABike]

@@GregVillalobos dea! Where up north?

[@kwakalifeuk694]

Love your work. You give me great inspiration to get out and take photos of my bike. However, I don't know where to start. I only have my phone to take pictures (Google pixel 5). I don't think I'm terrible at taking pictures, but I'd love to be better. I usually know what I want to achieve, but not quiet sure how to do it. Is there any chance you could do a beginner's guide video? What to look for, light direction, what to focus on? Maybe a quick overview of the software you use, although, is it possible to get great pictures without the use of editing? - Not my strong point. Thanks, stay safe and I look forward to more videos 👍

[@GregVillalobos]

Good idea. Will see if I can get a beginners guide together. Don't get hung up on the software - your phone and Instagram are all you need. :-)

I just picked up a 24mm pancake lense for my 750D for the same reason -- it shrinks my whole set-up. It also means I'm way more likely to actually shoot!

[@GregVillalobos]

I'd love it if they made a wide pancake for the 5D! Enjoy :-)

[@Ron_C]

Love your work! I just need to get out and take more photos!

[@GregVillalobos]

Yes you do! Enjoy :-)

Great stuff! Thanks for showing these awesome Insta accounts. Btw how do you keep your camera alive if you keep it in your tank bag? Especially things like IBIS will suffer massively due to the vibrations. But at the same time I'm a bit sick of putting my camera in my backpack every time I'm done shooting. Keep it up, Greg! Would love to see some more shooting guides / how you get your awesome shots. #shootandride

[@GregVillalobos]

My Canon 5DMk4 is a full frame DSLR - with mirror. It's been OK so far. My Panasonic GH5 is mirrorless and has IBIS. I had it in the tank bag a LOT and it was fine, apart from the fact that the mechanical shutter failed (jammed open). Not sure if that was connected to the vibes. Basically it's all a trade off isn't it. I much prefer having nothing on my back and the convenience of the camera in the tank bag.

[@GregVillalobos]

I'll get one at some point :-)

[@CarparkCarl]

Good stuff sir! Stickers purchased Do you monitor the hashtag on twitter at all if someone doesn’t have instagram?

[@GregVillalobos]

I've got so much social media that I've not been looking at Twitter.

[@CarparkCarl]

@@GregVillalobos I feel your pain, was worth an ask :D Keep up the good work!

[@chrismayes3588]

Nice! Good blend of your own and others' work to inspire those of us less talented...!

[@GregVillalobos]

The important thing is that you're out there shoot and riding! Thanks for the support. :-)

[@tshansen]

Damn, I really would like the new sticker... to have on my helmet. But, is the t-shirt on the way soon? I think, because of postage it would be nice to get everything in the same order. And, I would love to see a white coffee mug with the shoot and ride sticker on it. Cheers, keep up the fantastic work mate. 🔥

[@GregVillalobos]

Mug, now there's an idea. Stickers are easy to post ;-)

[@chokeizm]

School run love it :) mayb one of the extreme e bikes like the dirt bike ones but it's a bicycle.

[@DormanDiaries]

Never thought to tag #shootandride Just amended a couple on insta! 😉 You’ve got a familiar lockdown/really had enough of this look on your face! Maybe too many coffees? My coffee machine is getting hammered this month! Keep it up 👍

[@GregVillalobos]

Ha! Welcome to the hashtag club :-)
