Cupid Stunt Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Little story on this one My bike had a dodgy battery and this location is 9 miles from the nearest phone reception or houses, I had to ride over some humps and along a dirt trail to get to the elevated view point, it has sheer drops all round. I decided to keep the bike running whilst I tried to walk it through a 3 point turn, damned thing weighed a ton so I had to pause half way and went to put the side stand down but instead kicked it into gear LOL, it jolted forward and I just managed to catch it before the front went over the edge, if it had there's was no way I'd had been able to lift the bike up again, that would have been a very long walk at 2am 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupid Stunt Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I took this one from with my Fuji X-T2 and 16-55mm lens, I was about 18 inches from the fox's face and it had no idea I was there, this is a rural fox not an urban one, very different behaviour, far more timid and can hear a ticking watch at 100ft or more 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree for the most part with the photographer over the gear thing..... as a professional photographer for 25 years now I just enjoy the gear and like to know what people are using. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
