Brisbane by Bike & G1X Post #2

Yesterday was time for a trip to Nudgee Beach, taking the new bike for a roll via the bikeway from Nundah.   This bikeway/path goes through parts of the wetlands near Brisbane Airport and runs along parts of Nudgee Road.

Here's some photos - first, the new treadley - a MERIDA TFS 100-D.  I've updated the seat on it for something more comfy.  Future weeks will see me update the pedals as well.   This has been the best investment in my health that I have made in a while.   The trick will be working this into my life on a daily basis and developing the habit...

Canon G1X, handheld, ISO 400, f/5.0, 1/40 sec, 0 EV  No post processing.

Nudgee beach isn't much of a beach, more a bunch of mangroves and tidal flats.   This shot shows a car mover traversing the channel from the Port of Brisbane, Moreton Island in the back ground and one of those mangroves at low tide.  Oh - there's a tiny little bit of beach int he foreground too!   lol...

The G1X is proving to be an ideal travelling camera for the bike - nice a light, yet easily good enough to render detail in the sky that was deep in the Earth's shadow as in the shot above.  What a superb little camera!  I'm really, really enjoying it - and it's expanding my thoughts of future travel possibilities.

For anyone interested here's the overhead image of the bikeway from Nundah to Nudgee Beach, an easy 10 Km's of flat riding.  This image captured from Google Earth.
