Bray Head Mountain Biking Shoot
As a photographer you become familiar with the stupidly early time of summer sunrise. As painful as it is to get out of bed, it is always worth being up. Almost invariably you will have the place to yourself. This solemnity though, can prove difficult if you are looking for subjects to shoot. Being a keen mountain biker, but completely devoid of any skill, I need subjects to volunteer so I can make someone look awesome. No amount of Photoshop could make my riding skills look even passable.
I was delighted then when I met another mountain biker by the name of Iosac Coleman who, due to his own love of photography, understands the advantages of shooting at sunrise. Not only this but he also had a willing companion, John Belling to share the bleary eyed ride with. Iosac had the idea of shooting up at Bray Head for a while. It was something I had never seen shots of before, so I was more than happy to give it a whirl.
We met at 4.40 at the base of Bray Head and hiked up in the dark to get the best of the light as the sun came above the horizon.
Here are some of the images from that shoot.
Hopefully this will be the first of a few shoots with the lads. Thanks for getting up! Maybe not so early next time?
