Downhill to Kennedy Bay
New Zealand

Yes, I was riding the bike when I took this photo. and no, I wasn't looking through the viewfinder. I put the camera on a stubby little tripod I was carrying, preset the focus and exposure, and set the self timer. It was then just a matter of starting the timer, holding the camera out to the side by the folded-up tripod and getting up enough speed to get a good amount of motion blur in the foreground. There's a good deal of serendipity in the composition - the self-timer chose the decisive moment here.
