COMBO BEAM PATTERN PHOTO SHOOT
We gathered for a ride at 6:00 pm on a night with no moon. The goal was to get a photo of the beam pattern for each lightset in our lights challenge.
The setting - Water Dog Park in Belmont, CA. There were 4 riders, 1 photographer, and 21 beam patterns to shoot. We found a good stretch of fireroad - positioned a bike up the hill about 35 yards for reference - and started snapping pictures. Our photographers maintained consistency by aiming each bar beam in the same place and each helmet beam in the same place (from different heights) for the best comparison.
