Default Taking pictures - Who has time?

I love to look at pictures of rides I've been on but never take many because I'm always riding. How do you guys get so many pictures? I mean, if I want to take a picture, the whole group has to stop, I get the camera bag out of the rack box, get the camera out of the camera bag, turn it on, and then tell someone to go back a hundred yards and "ride past me" so I can get a pic. Then I have to do it all in reverse. Sheesh.

I hear you..... I got through the same thing all the time..... I like taking pics, I have a decent camera to do it, but I rarely ever get the chance..... And forget getting everyone to line up for a giant group pic. I plan it all the time and we either forget or by the time we remember guys are out of their gear and quads are loaded up.

I've gotten several camp site shots, when people were eating lunch or resting etc.....

But I plan on getting some this summer.....I swear.......I mean it.......no really.......

I wait unti they take a 45 minute 2 beer can each break and then pull out the camera. Sometimes I wounder when they will all shut up and start moving again.

I try to get my wife to take the pics but, it's hard to talk her into it. I carry a little Flip vid camera. I love it. They are cheap so I wouldn't cry if it got ran over. Takes decent quality during the day and I can take single frames for good still images.

I had a cheap digital camera I didn't mind if I dropped in the mud or dirt. Getting a group shot is pretty much like TLC said, but it's a smoke break for them. Since I don't smoke, there's my chance.

The hard part is getting someone else to take a picture of me. Bet in the last 6 years, I have less than 10 pictures of me actually riding.
