Whats the small handlebar bag your using in this video Keira.?
@@stuartgreen6952 It's a Jango Rolls bar bag, handmade in the uk!
As a cyclist, mountain biker and photographer this video was cool - subbed !
Brilliant photography class, especially for someone who lives with a professional photographer who is a cyclist. Loved it. Would love more.
Thanks mate! Really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed!
From a pro wedding/portrait photographer and cyclist - great tips. Back light makes right!
Thanks James 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was a cool video. You dam good at what you do mate, epic photo's
Thanks Peter 🙏🏼
nice video and photos. I'm doing cycling photography and im still learning.
More of this! Thank you!
Thanks man 🙏🏼
Great video! Thanks for the amazing tips. Can’t wait to see the vlog on taking better pictures with an iPhone.
Amazing shot at 5:05, congratulations !
Loved it, yes more please Tristan
🙏🏼
Great shots. Love the sunlight turn around one. 👌🏻
Thanks mate 🙏🏼
Lesson from the master, cool. Thanks!
Thanks Rob! 🙏🏼
Love the video
Good memories of Girona……..a go pro segment would be good and yes drop the iPhone tips so I can get the shots at Hawthorn critts now we can ride again….
More Keira…period.
Another 45 mins on the turbo in grey Scotland finished off with one of your Girona videos. Keeps me going 'til I make it back to Girona. I really think you should do a video to Llagostera, Tossa, along the coast to san Feliu and back....when you've got a minute ;-)
thanks Tristan
Awesome vid. Definitely keen on some tips on taking photos on an iphone!
Awesome, good to know!
훌륭한 설명 팁 감사합니다
Nice... a very inspiring content.
Always up for some photography. Actually surprised you weren't using a zoom lens.....and I'm planning to sell a kidney for a Nikon zfc....sucker for that retro styling 👌...but you're right, a phone wins for practicality, portability, crashability when on a bike...
Big fan of the phone on the bike, but will always love the result you can get out of a full frame body and 50mm prime. That ZFC…😍
Nice video and pics man, i know how to do it! My question is regarding the camera: do you only use the camera strap or do you have another gear to make it fit on your back? I'm afraid it may get loose... Thanks.
Great vid. Nuts how good that 50 1.8 is for the buck$
Agreed. One of my all time favorite lenses for everything it does for such little money. Everybody should own a nifty fifty. 👌🏼
I been binge watched your vid creations. Very cool and smooth - love the little transitions and music. Can you film a vlog with your iPhone so we can see what thats like too?
Hey man, thanks so much. Did you mean shoot a video explaining how to shoot photos with an iPhone? Or shoot the vlog using the iPhone?
@@tristantakevideo lot of us guys ride with an iphone (smart phone).
It would be cool to see what a professional photographer would come up with if he did a vlog with his Iphone 😎
Subbed! thanks for the tips! would love to see the iPhone tips :)
🙏🏼 Coming up, I promise!
God, that golden photo of her making a U-turn was so damn good!!! Time for another cycling phone photography tips and tricks, hum? hahaha
It’s the next episode coming..I’m editing it at the moment. Going to take a bit of time though..feel like there’s so much to try explain and fit in!
@@tristantakevideo my favourite photo ever taken was possible because of that video! Love it so damn much!!
That’s epic to hear man 🙌🏼
Thanks that was good & yes I hope you will give more tips on taking phone pics! I will try your shoot into the light tip too. When I tried in the past it made the subject too dark (but again just with my phone so )... :) Thanks
Thanks Mike! Will make sure to include as much info as I can for that episode 👌🏼🙏🏼
@@tristantakevideo Awesome! Thanks Tristan!
Great photoshoot! Love the colours, especially in the photos from the "bush" :D
I have just one question - how do you carry Your camera, while on the bicycle? Do You use any bag? I'm looking for a bag to take my camera with me while im cycling, but I'm too scared to take the camera "naked" 😅 without bag..
Thank you 🙏🏼 I just carry it on my back using the regular Canon strap and a 3-way harness strap from a brand called Rille. I’m a little nervous about having it “naked” too but generally ride a little more cautiously while carrying it.
Thanks, good video :)
Hey never mind a Vlog about IPhone pictures - can we have an android version......lol. In all seriousness be interesting to see if a standard camera app installed on a phone (any phone is good enough) or do you need to download a specific app.
I just use the regular iPhone camera app for my shots but there are plenty of apps out there as well. The taking of the photo is one part, editing is another part. Stay tuned for the episode!
Please do the vlog on how to shoot better videos with your iPhone 🙏🏽
Hi Tristan, inspiring video. Would be nice to get some insights on camera settings (Photo and video). This is where the magic begins. By the way, like your video’s !
Good to know! Will do my best for the next one 🙏🏼
@@tristantakevideo also video about your camera gear would be interesting
Thanks for the insights, Tristan. Would you advise to start shooting in aperture-mode more to get deeper into it or how would you start to dive deeper into photographing. What are certain settings you shoot different scenes in? I don't have the option to change lenses and would like to work better with what I already have.
Thanks man. I’d actually recommend starting out shooting full manual to completely understand how the different settings will affect the final result. Once I did that, my world changed. This is also useful for sports where shutter speed needs to be used correctly to avoid motion blur (or to use motion blur in the right way), and in low light where the camera needs to be “told” how to replicate the scene accurately rather than always trying to expose the image how it would in regular light.
These days I shoot 50% full manual and 50% aperture priority, using the exposure compensation dial heavily depending on the look I’m going for. AV for rapidly changing scenes (while cycling for example) and M for more static scenes or in consistent light.
Hope that helps!
@@tristantakevideo thanks, Tristan. That helps a lot.
🙏🏼
awesome video, I love cycling and love photography, but I've never tried taking my camera on a ride! how do you get shots in focus single handedly? looks amazing riding round girona.
Thanks Dyllan! I have the autofocus set to trigger with the shutter button..half press for focus, full press to shoot.
Nice video! Which lenses do you use the most?
Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m a big fan of my 50mm prime. I use the light/cheap F1.8 version for riding with and the Sigma F1.4 ART series for commercial work.
She's a keeper
Here is a vote for how we can take better video on and around the bike. A
This one was great but we need more. Are you taking your videos riding with your phone just holding it? That certainly takes some skill. We would all like to document our adventures better but most of what I (and others) create is not engaging. I know your are a pro and have a lot of practice on techniques and composition but a bit of a series on how the non pro can create better photos/video would be awesome. I think it would be easy content for you and pull in additional viewers/subscribers that you might not otherwise reach.
Nice footage! So you only use 50mil?
For this little shoot it was just 50mm, and for most of my work I use 50mm, but I also have a bunch of other lenses for more extensive projects. I do a gear run through in a video from February where I photographed a pro cycling team in Portugal if you’re interested 👌🏼
What are you doing for sound? You're shooting selfie-video from an iPhone while riding, and there's no wind noise?
I just cup my hand around the bottom of the phone to stop as much wind noise from going in the microphone as possible, and only film on climbs when I’m going slow. However I’ve noticed in more recent videos my sound has been sh*t so I’ve bought myself a small microphone that plugs into the charging port on the bottom of the phone to improve it.
Sorry but how does this channel only have 6k subs. That number needs to be × by 100 😭
Hopefully one day I’ll get there. Stoked you think so highly of it! 🙏🏼
@@tristantakevideo yup imo the best cycling channel on the platform atm 👌
Thanks legend 🤜🏼🤛🏼
@@adam_wetton completely agree!!
in your video on the 7 min mark, what is your setting SOOC to get brown colour?
White balance on cloudy or shade. It adds a lot more yellow into the shot.
Beautiful shot with very beautiful lady….
Sunsets are always like natures own fireworks display.
Your high burst mode sounds like a machine gun
7:56 do you take this one handed video with iphone? when decending? 😱
Yep! 🤘🏼
@@tristantakevideo mollyyyyy 🔥
Are you going to participate in the Hotter'N Hell Hundred Tomorrow Saturday the 27th in Wichita Falls, Texas?
I have photo'd the event 3 years running but do not ride, it's a awesome event with 10k + riders every year.
how are you taking videos while on the bike, are you holding it by hand?
Correct, just handheld
FYI the link to Kiera's instagram is broken.
Ah yeah, she changed her Instagram handle a few days ago
How do you hold your camera? Seems kinda awkward?
I’m holding my phone to film the video and shooting photos with the other hand, hence the awkwardness
Where's the "risk it for a biscuit" outro???
Over on the biskwit vlog dropping tomorrow ;)
It’s up on the Biskwit channel now!
now I just to go to a place with eternal golden hour sunshine
Bisa bisanya dia motret sambil naik sepeda 🥲
👍👍👏👏👏🇫🇷🚴🏻♂️🌷
Some good tips on how to use the light. These are the money shots, Let's be real...😂😂🤷🏼♂️
All about those 💰 shots! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
"I just need to get my head lower" that's what you've been saying for 3 years when looking at photos of yourself, gots to get the srug going...
Great video! I'm also a professional cyclist photographer/videographer. Work for a NYC based brand Priority Bicycles. If your ever in NYC hit me up!
you two should get together...
