You found some nice places to get photos when the light is in the best spots. Love your Photo biker videos. Those last shots looked awesome as the light and sky showed up even without many clouds. Can't wait for the next ride!
Nice spot to take Mont Michel with the straw. We have been there early in the morning having fog and then Mont Michel slowly appears out of the mist... wonderful :-) As you said, it is usuyll not the tourist area to find the special view...
Enjoyed your ride out and explanation just shows hang around and you never know what might happen. I’m enjoying your Mastering Photography well explained thanks for your video content.
So cool that you get to ride around with your sister. That's absolutely fantastic Mike! Love it. Worth sticking around for those shots at the end. While there's some light, there's some potential. Absolutely cracking images. Thanks for sharing and taking us with you.
For me, the vertical frame at 19:12 is the one. Very nice. Imagine having that castle off in the distance while you’re a farmer baling hay. Pretty cool local landmark to say the least.
At a location like this, I'd have to spend a week worth of _spotting_ for locations, and then shoot. You've gotta cover a large area of land when deciding where to shoot from at Mont St Michel. That is called a 'recce' - you find the best locations, determine the best time of day at those precise angles/locations and the required pieces of gear you'll need. I always use a tripod, even in broad daylight. A polariser too. But travel shooting is mostly futile - so many people shoot it. You've gotta come up with something different, which is no longer easy, and travel costs a lot. Go to Venice in Italy and hire (pay) a young student to wear a few 'Carnivale' costumes in your shots. You don't need to be there when Carnivale is actually on (ie, end of Jan/early Feb) because it's still cold at that time of year. Get a signed Model Release. Those pix will sell. But wherever I am, if the weather is not pristine for daytime travel shots (perfect blue skies) then I focus instead on night shooing when the sky isn't as important. The focus is thus on the neon and glitz in the city lights.
I've already paused your video Mike and I'm only a minute into it. I just wanted to say I love your sister's bike! 😁😁Right.. I'll carry on watching now. There may be more comments later!🤣🤣
That BSA is a beaut Ash. She's had it a vey long time. We've ridden down to Spain, South of France and many other journes and Anna insists on taking that 1957 BSA, despite owning a BMW and now a Harley Sportster too. BTW I've got a 350cc version. See link below... MIKE www.clickasnap.com/i/hra8btkthmddbyog
Scouting around for the best view and possibly a good shot. I am enjoying seeing how you make it all possible to get closer and finding a good spot. Wouldn't a light tripod help while using a long lens?
Thanks Luigi. Taking a photo takes a fraction of a second, finding the photo can take a lot longer. Yes longer lens would be good on a tripod, but not a 'light tripod' - which would be in danger of vibration and blurring an image. In this case I only carried one tripod on the bike and it was holding up the video camera... MB
That brought back some memories! we've been a couple of times to watch Le Tour de France and we stayed at a campsite in Ponterson which had a cycle path fright up to Mont. I've turned onto the wrong side of the road but with a caravan on the back!! Great stuff - enjoyed it.
I think I got my sunset shot from near enough the same spot. We stayed nearby and it took a few days of visiting the local area before I found a spot that suited.
The guy who checked your photo id was really funny character. The way he looked at your id and then your face and then repeated the same thing twice… omg…really hilarious. As always, very nice video… Thank you sir. God bless you.
That one is a 2001 Triumph Thunderbird 900. I mostly ride a 1999 Triumph Legend (known as the 'Red Legend') which is in most Photo Biker videos. I've had it from new and it's on its second time around the mileometer. ... MIKE🙏😊
Thanks @mikiesonTV. I could have gone and bought a permit but the best photos are not from the carpark TBH. Only reason I considered riding down there was to demonstrate that ... MIKE🙏😊
14:19 - Had you gotten down lower, say just a foot or two off the ground, you could have gotten more golden field and less bland, null sky and captured are far better photo imo being that there were no clouds in the sky, where the one you took would have worked.
Told you there may be more comments from me. Here's another one. I'm guessing from the way you're bullying your sister with that baguette that you're the elder brother?

Those post-sunset shots were definitely worth hanging around for! Great having the lights on in the buildings ...
Thanks James - I think so too.

Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed it... MIKE🙏😊
Another lovely biking video and photos. Great combination
Thank you Denis - I appreciate the comment.
Great video Mike. Superb shots as well. Your sister is so cool on her bike. 👍👍👍
Isn't she just - love her!
There were wonderful clouds at St Michel on the next day 🙂
What a lovely place 😌
Brilliant ride and of course the photos!
Thanks very much!
Yet another winner Mike. I really enjoy these rideouts with you. Keep em coming please.
Thanks, will do ... MIKE🙏😊

Sure is ... MIKE🙏😊
I really love this so much. You get me excitedly jumping in the car with camera. Inspirational bloke that you are Mike is catching.
Thanks Sarah .... MIKE🙏😊
Hahaha. Have to stay focused on the road. Loved the bonus pictures.
... MIKE🙏😊
Hi Mike. The last shot was a belter. Another enjoyable video
Thanks Vincent ... MIKE🙏😊

All good and interesting pointers!

Thanks John. I was thinking about photos instead of comcentrating. Haven't done wrong side thing in over 10 years... MIKE🙏😊

👍 Researching a location is key... MIKE🙏😊
Motorcycles and Photography...my favourite pass times.
...And if your any good with a fishing rod?!.
Great episode and lovely photos.
👌
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry to say when I go fishing - they hide... MIKE🙏😊
The guy who checked your photo id was really funny character. The way he looked at your id and then your face and then repeated the same thing twice… omg…really hilarious.
As always, very nice video…
Thank you sir. God bless you.
Thanks DrNimish. He was a great guy. So friendly and helpful... MIKE🙏😊
i like anna's bike
It's a honey Robbie ... MIKE🙏😊
what is the make and model of your motor bike, it runs so smooth and quiet?
That one is a 2001 Triumph Thunderbird 900. I mostly ride a 1999 Triumph Legend (known as the 'Red Legend') which is in most Photo Biker videos. I've had it from new and it's on its second time around the mileometer. ... MIKE🙏😊
glad you found a spot that was decent enough at the end. its too bad you can just go up to it.
Thanks @mikiesonTV. I could have gone and bought a permit but the best photos are not from the carpark TBH. Only reason I considered riding down there was to demonstrate that ... MIKE🙏😊
@@MikeBrowne understandable..it looked like a lovely time..
At 09:53 is it not 1/200 instead of 1/2000 of a second?
Just checked the exif data Luc and it's 1/2000th F11 250iso. Bright day... MIKE🙏😊
14:19 - Had you gotten down lower, say just a foot or two off the ground, you could have gotten more golden field and less bland, null sky and captured are far better photo imo being that there were no clouds in the sky, where the one you took would have worked.
Got it Wabanaki ... MIKE🙏😊
I want Mike to look like in Camera shake video or Focal length explained video.
That Mike is very cute. But Mike is looks old. 😭😭😭
Can't do much about that - sorry 🤣🤣🤣
Photography ! an excuse to ride a motorcycle. LOL
No excuse needed for either Peter... MIKE😁🙏
Told you there may be more comments from me. Here's another one. I'm guessing from the way you're bullying your sister with that baguette that you're the elder brother?
Maybe .... MIKE🤔😆
