had a very bad bike spill last year and has "retired" from the biking
routine. But he stays in touch with his friends by shooting pics of

Yes, he tries to use fill flash whenever possible, as most of the
trails go in and out of varying amounts of sun and shade. He uses the
Cactus style radio trippers with manual flashes like the Sunpak 383
and the Vivitar 285.

There are some ~terrific~ shots there!!

Did he use fill flash on some of the aerials?

I'd say he has more than just "promise" - looks like he's already there, to me.

Wonderful gallery.

Tell Nathan that's a nice set of pictures.  It does a great job of

That's pretty accomplished for a guy of 26.  I wonder where he'll be
