    where crack smoking bumbs throw rocks at you while you're practicing
    your 360 unispin.

  3. finally some feedback. lol yeah its pretty much busted anyway. I am not
    willing to take it any higher then those drops at the moment becaue the
    cranks and hub are allready bent beyond recognition. Saving for a new
    one is just so damn hard though...

    lol she would love that comment, she thinks i am doing homework right
    now.

    Yeah i know the side on ones are a little irksome but she is like right
    into photography and all that awards winning stuff and apartly it is
    more appealing to be taken like that. She got right into it, the
    photo's are good but they dont actually show much unicycling...

  11. Camera angles.

    What you usually want is to make the thing that you're dong look
    eXXXtreme (TO THE MAAAAAAAX)

    The easiest way to get this effect is to take the shot from really
    low.

    Example.

    Terribly sketchy no footer from a fairly high angle. Looks pretty bad,
    correct?
    [image:
    http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/edsbelly/nofooter019toupload.jpg]

    As opposed to this one, which looks pretty freakin' sweet. Taken from
    really low, to make it look eXXXtreme (TO THE MAAAAX!!) - heh.. check
    the facial expression =D

    [image:
    http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/edsbelly/nofooter017toupload.jpg]

    And some more..

    High angle, you can see that I only had this tiny little block around.

    [image:
    http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/edsbelly/nofooter021toupload.jpg]

    This one looks like I'm standing on a big stump.

    [image:
    http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/edsbelly/nofooter022toupload.jpg]

    Yes. Basically, think about the trick from the camera's point of view.
    From the right angle you can make a little 3 set look much bigger than
    it is.

    I have no doubts that your girlfriend is a good photographer, just tell
    her what to do =D

    Hope this helped, because you have no idea how hard it is to take
    photos of yourself while you're unicycling.

    There are sooooo may ways to take nice looking photos. I'd say that
    -lighting- is really the key to anything. Try to take photos with the
    sun at the photographers back so the subject is well lit. If it's a
    rainy day, generally you're not going to get great pictures because the
    camera must either a)reduce quality to keep a higher shutter speed or
    b)decrease the shutter speed which makes things blurry. Basically, if
    the camera has manual settings, try using those. If it doesn't and it
    has presets like aperture priority (usually Av) or shutter speed
    priority (Tv), try using shutter speed to get less blurred shots.
    Also, -action- is really important ('example - can be a crash 🙂'
    (http://tinyurl.com/yf479s) 'example 2' (http://tinyurl.com/ym6lb3)).
    Sometimes shots of still standing and before you're about to make a
    move/drop can come out nice, but generally shots of you making the
    action will turn out more interesting. This takes time and skill and
    knowing your camera well to time the shot for exactly when you want
    it.

    I'm by no means a great photographer, but check out my gallery to see
    some more examples of what I'm talking about.

    Color is also pretty important... ('example'
    (http://tinyurl.com/y3ktsf))

    Angle is also important. Basically (as with video), try -not- to shoot
    from head height. If you're on a hill or something, sometimes shooting
    from head height is the best, but generally try to change it up.
    ('example' (http://tinyurl.com/yx36bb) - I was laying on the ground for
    this one).

    It's common at first to only get a few good photos out of a bunch. The
    longer you do it, the more decent shots you get.

    (sorry, my website is slow... soon to be www.nohillnothrill.com)

    To sum things up, try to include the following....
    1) fast shutter speed (at least 1/250 if not 1/300) - if camera is
    adjustable
    2) lighting
    3) color
    4) angle
    5) low aperture (wide open) to create background blurriness - if
    adjustable
    6) action
