Urban Photography on a Bike

[@digitaldion]

Thanks for the great video! A Brompton doesn’t need a kick stand, because you just fold the rear triangle under the bicycle and it stands on its own. I always take my 22 year old Brompton with me when I travel. It makes getting around so cheap and easy, and it allows me to extend my ‘photography range’ immensely! You pictures are beautiful. Thanks.

That puddle reflection was superb.

[@stolenorange]

I love my Brompton electric and whenever I stop somewhere nice I take a shot of it because it's so beautiful!

[@robertmathieson1083]

First class. I honestly think that you could make a good image out of anything. Very impressive.

My brilliant is Craig's "everyday " photo 🙂

Great episode. Bikes and photography, what could be better!

[@Martingj56]

When you explained about the possibilities with the two graffities and the reflection of the bridge I found the light very harsh, but the processed images are full of atmosphere. A real learning experience.

[@micgent]

Really enjoyed this, bikes cameras and helmets.

Lovely light and shade abstracts

Seeing how you frame things is very helpfull.

Lovely composition and tones. Thanks

[@WhosPhotoTube]

You don’t need a kick stand on a Brompton just fold the rear triangle underneath the frame with a quick flick, the locking lever can also be auto release. You also change the suspension bung. I recommend the 44 tooth chain ring. Have a front mount for a large or small bag. Get the rear carrier option , you don’t kick the easy wheels with the carrier so much. Cheaper to choose these option on you order with the configuration options. Best go to a dealer and borrow a demo Brompton. I use mine on gravel tracks and city riding. Two friends a while ago rode all the way from Paris to Gibraltar camping on the way. Most trams and busses along with trains allow Brampton’s. Better still get an electric Brommy. the front bag, it fits on the mount bracket. The rear triangle folds under the bike and that’s it wheels are are for dragging it along.your

[@e6Vlogs]

Yes, i forgot about flipping the back wheel to make a stand. It’s nice, but probably not the bike for me.

All fantastic photos. My favourite was the high rise buildings coming out of the mist in the distance.

Amazing composition skills!

Love your work, such a good eye for composition

[@IanCassanova]

Thanks for the cycling tips! Didn’t know you could hire a Brompton.

[@neilcole3406]

I sometimes ride my Bike and lm amazed at the places l discover for photography!

[@evildiesel1709]

great video and fantastic pictures. loved the bike bits too. disappointed you didn't use the XPro though.

[@colvillebri196]

I’ve got a Brompton, it’s a great little bike, I’ve actually toured on it, great video, I must sign up to one of your city workshops, I live in the back and beyond

[@thegroove2000]

Folding bike is the way.

[@olivernemo7280]

Terrific video Craig I enjoyed every minute, thank you.

[@DavidLaCivita]

Another great video and a bunch of great images!

[@derricksansome236]

Cool? I had to make an extra hot water bottle 😂 (would have turned the heating up once upon a time of course.)

[@jondr.8933]

Yes as already pointed out. Folding the back wheel under is the stand. Brompton are by far the best folding bike, even if they are outrageously expensive. The stand fold is even better if it's fitted with the rear rack. You can also get over priced front luggage, that's great for camera kit.

[@e6Vlogs]

A great city bike, but not as good as my 20” on gravel.

[@captaindebug]

Yes, quite agree - just fold the back wheel under with one smooth, swift action and try to look cool at the same time (it doesn't aways work).

[@funkmon]

I've just been recommended a video about this bicycle and I blame you entirely. I don't ride bikes and I have not been looking up bikes!

[@paulkennewell2752]

Like the idea of using the bike with camera - have done in the countryside but not in the urban environment - the last reflection was great out of such a small puddle!

[@petertaranscorsese2900]

Very nice shots…..& great coffee choice! I have a Brompton with a rear rack and when you want to stand the bike up, you just “kick” the rear wheel underneath, which makes it double as a stand - Easy Peezy:- )

[@e6Vlogs]

Ah, that makes sense👍

[@alistairhow2550]

There is a kick stand in so far as you just tuck the rear wheel under and it stands up

[@davidharris4062]

With the Brompton you just flip the rear triangle over

[@David_Bell_growing]

I've got a 26" wheel Dahon folder, must be almost full frame.

[@richardtierney7724]

Wonderful... love your Vlogs 🙂

[@yarontaub]

Fantastic, as always!

[@johnnyfal1]

your photos are superb 👍

[@CWReace]

Yeah, I went with a 20" folding bike, as stability was more important to me than absolute minimum weight/size. (A lot of sub-optimal pavement in my area.)

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I have been wondering about a bike, though I was thinking more of (Australian) rural areas. Space in Tin Can is a concern. A folder like this could be the winner grinner. When I visit a new town, I like to walk around, sometimes all over the place. A bike would give me more coverage. Perhaps a camera mount or two, for the different viewpoint.

[@jlaw8882]

I was sure they were going to kick you out of the coffee shop with bike in hand!

[@gharrop1]

Very well composed video ..as always. Some great shots…Been a folding bike convert for about 14years, totally agree on wheel size. However have you tried an electric bike, full size or maybe folding..?I live in rural area with few hills..but a full size electric bike is liberating, Had an early model for about 12years…makes it like living in Holland!

[@e6Vlogs]

Yes, I’ve had my folding bike about 15 years too. As for an electric bike, I’ll perhaps give one a try in another five years!

You look cool in the shades. Not so much when riding the brompton. Definitely not a bike for guys suffering with a fragile masculinity.

[@robcoates4394]

I think that even if I wasn't a (amateur) photographer I'd find your videos interesting and entertaining. And if I win the lottery *** and can afford to take the non-stop flight from Perth to Heathrow, I'll head for Manchester. What a mine of visual gems you've shown us. As mentioned below, you seem to make great images from just about anything. A talent I envy and strive for. Also, I'm getting a bit old to ride a bike and gave up trying to look cool a few decades ago! *** Unlikely, as I've stopped buying tickets. 🙂 Cheers from DownUnder 🦘
