Title: Inspirational Cycling Photography
Post by: StuntPilot on March 13, 2012, 04:30:58 PM
Hi All!

Just saw the following link on National Geographic Travel. It shows some wonderful and inspirational bike photography. I am interested too in photography and I thought it would be an idea to share.

If anyone else finds some great bike photography web pages/sites, please link to them via this topic! Perhaps it will help and inspire us all take better photos on our cycle travels and tours!

Enjoy!

May I add another?

Paul Jeurissen & Grace Johnson have a wonderful photo site, showing their world travels. I can't think of a better way to build inspiration for a tour -- any tour!
http://touring.bicyclingaroundtheworld.nl/index.htm

Grace is the "woman in red", known for her appearance in Paul's photos worldwide. Great photos, great site, and another world-class effort (in every way) from this duo.

Best,

Dan.

Not photography but video! I love the tight editing and free spirit of these videos. The true essence of cycle touring ...
