Vitim River Bridge 2013

Not bad. Better if bike is going/pointing rightward (as #2) and also clear area (usually sky) on top 40% for titles (unless pic is totally brilliant).
Bright colours (red, orange etc) also good.
And it doesn't have to be hardcore/extreme, btw. Just a killer shot.
Usually all these requirements don't fall in the lap so if anyone's in the field with a suitable camera, set it on '11' and feel free to experiment.

Hummmm I was just about to buy the book today! Do you know when in 2016 the new edition will be released?

Right now I'm bogged down in soft baggage and that's a long way from the end, so prob March 2016.

No harm in having two copies I suppose :innocent:

I have about 6 - I buy every edition - they get better and better:-)

Although this thread is old, I just thought I'd mention that I received a copy of the 8th Edition yesterday. So far I've been thumbing through it, reading bits here and there that catch my eye. Looks great!

Later: Last night I read about 50 pages. Although I've been riding for almost 30 years, there is plenty of interesting and new info. I highly recommend the book.
