As the ambassador of the yospos TikTok thread I am required to tell you that in order to embed a TikTok from the mobile app to the awful app you must:

1) copy the link using the share button in TikTok
2) paste the link into a browser. TikTok’s site redirects you and you get a new URL
3) copy that new url and paste it into the awful app inside video tags (video) (/video) but with brackets instead of parentheses of course

I prefer that kind of URL since it lets me skip parts of the vid.

Here's me trying out the video recording on my Sena 10C Evo for the first time, I need to adjust the angle higher. I managed to lose traction there.

Which mount are you using? It looks like you have yours mounted farther back than I do. I'm using the flush mount on the top right in this picture.



Here is me also losing traction, but for different reasons. That's actually the first real time I've ridden on tar snakes I think. They're not super common around here.

I wish you could adjust exposure, white balance, shutter speed, etc., like you can an a GoPro, but alas.

Haha, perfect response. Tar snakes are weird, and a real pain in the rear end when they go parallel down the road exactly where you want your wheels to be.

My maiden voyage to get the VanVan home was also my literal first ride in 10 years, and required me to ride it on 65mph+ highway through a mountain pass. I had my protective pants on and was feelin pretty okay all things considered.

Till I hit the tar snakes and just about poo poo my pants.

A Guzzi i found in Berlin. Shot on film (Rollei Retro 80s).
This was 10 years ago i think, but i didn't have a proper scanner until recently. Turns out, this series of pictures came out really nicely.

This is how you take a picture of a motorbike. Note how the whole bike is visible, none of it is touching the frame, it isn't parked in front of a rubbish bin and we can't see any parts of the photographer, the angle is low and (extremely, it's an old guzzi after all) flattering to the bike, the steering is turned the correct way (face of the wheel toward camera), it's just 'right'.

Picture of my own bike in the fields.
It's a slide (you know, for projecting) and the development plant hosed up and left all sorts of water stains. Now i gotta was the film strip again and hope the stains go away.

I miss the warm colors of 70's/80's photography.

Go grab a roll of film, then. Kodak has recently restarted production and imho offers the nicest colors.
I yearn for some rolls of Ektachrome (their excellent slide film) and Ektar (print film). But those two are hideously expensive, so i've now just ordered their cheapest stuff (Colorplus)

The softness of the 2nd picture is to 'blame' on the camera used, an Adox Polo 1s compact from the 60s.

Greater Seattle area? That weather and water sound/look familiar. We’ve been alternating between really nice and miserable riding weather for a couple weeks now.

The important thing is that even miserable riding weather is still riding weather. (especially if there's a hot tub waiting at the end of it).

SV at a windmill in Groningen.

Taken with a Canon Dial 35 half frame camera (so half resolution, 72 pictures on a standard roll of 35mm film)



Why yes, it is indeed an ergonomic abomination but it makes pretty good pictures. It is a gimmicky thing, but it genuinely makes razor sharp pictures when used right, with sharpless mostly being limited by the film grain (which is high in the picture, on fast film)

Now that's what I call a geekMAN!

My partner has been going hard on film photography these last few years to the point of developing her own black and white photos and being on a first name basis with everyone at the local camera shop. I’ve really been enjoying things you share here with her.

You seem to share a love of capturing texture that just isn’t conducive to digital photography.

Good poo poo.

I love it to bits. By now i've carried it around in my backpack so much that dust has made its way into the mechanical bits, and the 50 year old grease is getting more and more sticky each year.
But it's one of the cameras i plan on keeping for the rest of my life so i'm gonna dump a lot of money into it to get it professionally serviced.

I've had a darkroom and printed my own pictures before, but my current living situation doesn't allow me space to set up an enlarger again. But it is so incredibly satisfying to see the picture come up in the developing tray, and then taking the fixed prints out of the dark and seeing the smooth contrasts paper prints offer. The scans always look a bit rougher than the prints i've made of the same pictures.
I'm planning on renting some darkroom time in Amsterdam. I think i can get one hour for 17,50 including chem usage, as long as i bring my own paper. Which is a pretty good price.

Same camera, but color film used.
This was in the front yard of some guy who had a small collection of bikes and mopeds, so there eventually was a small assembly of 5 bikers who stopped to check them out.

Just got the Sena 10-C Evo working on my Shoei RF-1400 helmet. Seems to work pretty well, though the speakers are a bit "tinny". I accidently pressed the camera button while on a ride and it seems to capture the chaos of FDR Drive.

Are you wearing ear plugs? The sound quality improves quite a bit with them IMO. It sounds pretty poo poo otherwise.
