Riding with the 1Ds

[Anthony_S]

Sure it's heavy. And some people think I'm crazy for attaching to my body via a chest strap and hitting some fairly rough trails. But the pictures make it worth it.

Great shots.
I can see why you would want to take it along on these rides.

Any chance to see the chest strap arrangement?

[justincase724]

Yeah, I can see why you'd want to take your 1Ds on those rides, I would too (if I had a 1Ds). Although I know that it would always be on my mind that I had something that valuable strapped to my chest, so I wouldn't be able to concentrate as well on the riding. All great shots by the way.

7 & 8 are wonderful pics! :)

[cyber_m0nkey]

You do what you have to do to get the shot. Great images btw.

I would never mind taking my xti but i couldn't afford to take a 1ds but you certainly get some great pics, more power to ya...

[Dan-o]

Beautiful shots.

[Big Hands]

Beautiful work as always.

I found myself enjoying the ride far less when taking my 20D with me, so I have opted for a Canon SX100 because it's so much more portable, but since I've only had it for three weeks I haven't much chance to ride with it yet.

Your shots look great, I am not sure what your rig looks like but you know how much this stuff costs. I regularly ride around with my camera's at motocross races on a kingquad 700 or a my race bike. The only time I didnt feel comfortble is while trail bashing on the quad even with the camera in a Kata bag I was watching the bag and not the trail. So to make this short a good quality bag in the event of a fall might be all you need. Im planning on doing some M.B. with my 1Ds soon; hope I find half the great shots you have...

Great shots! I would take the camera also :-)

I'd rather take the 1Ds than the XTi. The 1Ds was made for that kind of shooting. The XTi wasn't.

Really love these shots! I have taken my 400d riding a few times, but i could never really enjoy the ride as much, always making sure i don't fall off
