I was tidying up this site the other day and wanted to add a few more photos to some of the pages. After going through my photos, I realised just how few I have with my bike actually in them.

I often carry a camera with me, especially if I’m away for a few days. I have a Canon M5 mirrorless camera which is small and light enough to carry in my handlebar bag. It has a 28mm lense fitted and I also take along a 50mm one to capture things that are just a bit further away. I have considered buying a 50-200 zoom lense but will need to decide if the extra reach is worth the weight and the expediture. As I also have a full frame canon which I use when I am out and about on foot, the M5 is only ever used when I am on the bike so I’ve not yet convinced myself.

When I’m touring I also take some photos with my mobile phone. This is mainly if I am going to post them to social media. I tend to keep the pictures in the camera for processing when I get home.

But to get back to my original point, I really must make an effort to include my bike in more of my pictures. I have an anathema to selfies but I suppose I shouldn’t lump my bike in with that.
