For all you shutter bugs out there… Can you recommend or give tips on how to adequately shoot a photo to keep the steepness of the trial in perspective? I'll tote along a camera every now and then. I've brought along my Nikon D40 but typically it’s a simple point and shoot.
The trail seems to "flatten" out in the photos I've "tried" to take. That killer climb that sucked the air out of your lung and trashed your legs looks like a long driveway or the steep rock and root strewn decent looks tame enough for your 6 year old to ride down unscathed on his or her bike. You know the photos; the ones you show your none riding spouse, relative, friend or co-worker to show them the azz kicker section of the trail and they are like "eh, that doesn't look too terribly steep"
Can this be done with a simple point and shoot or do you need a wide angle lens and a wide shot to accomplish this
