The view is affected by the means of conveyance. All motorcycles and scooters have their own unique effect on the rider and photographer. And as you say the same goes for the camera.

You see. I see!

chuck: I have a lot of gear I should sell but have not gotten around to it. If I wait long enough it won’t be worth anything!

captain: I enjoy your site and will stop by to wave at the Harleys. I see a lot of them around here but don’t often get to say much…

pvino: Thank you for your kind words and feedback on the pictures. The G9 will sit out this week as I pick up the D200.

ale: That is a little Canonet XL that belongs to a friend of mine. One of those great rangefinder cameras made in the late 1960s through the 70s. Too bad they stopped making them.

The G9 is an awesome mid-size portable camera.

By the way, I added you to my page of best Biker Blogs over at Road Captain USA. Please come by and comment more often. We need the Scooter view on things to set us Harley dudes straight.

I added a link to your blog on my One a Day – Mostly Seattle blog.

In the camera dept., I also use a couple of Canon 5D’s and if I know I’ll need some extra reach I’ll resurrect the 20D I just never got around to selling while it would fetch a couple $ more than it was worth to me.

-Chuck

You don’t see the same landscape from a Vespa’s perspective or from an Harley or a crutch rocket. It is the same in photography. Those wonder boxes have possibilities and limitations, and the photographer must adjust his way of thinking the world he is trying to capture with them. It is not just the way you see, but the way you think before you see, you see?

It replaced the little Canon S50 I would carry around in my pocket. It joins the D200, Leica M6, and Mamiya 7 as one more camera option.

I didn’t use it much though because I wasn’t all that wild about it until I used it a bit more. Now I’m sold!

orin: The G9 is a great little camera but you’re right that it is not as small as some. That said it still easily fits in my jacket pocket albeit with more mass and bulk.

The G9 boots almost as fast as my D200. It doesn’t process the RAW files as fast though. Doesn’t matter for scooter photography though.

I’ve not looked at it closely, but from what Chuck and Doc tell me, there’s not much a G9 can’t do, photographically speaking. My only issue (aside from no money to buy one) is the size. The pictures you see on my blog and Flickr were made with a Samsung NV10, which is small and thin… fits great in a coat pocket, and boots up almost immediately, a big help getting those group ride shots during red lights…

or is it in addition to the Leica
and the D200?

Just wondering
