It required an awfully early start - leaving the house at 3:40am - to be set up and in place to capture this image of the crescent moon along a country lane near Brede, in East Sussex

I really like this picture, I think that it was well worth the early start.
Nice thread and cracking pics - as others have said you must put a hell of a lot of time and effort into getting them.
I like both cycling and photography and initially thought they might be a good match, however in practice I can't stand the faff of stopping, getting out the camera, propping up the bike safely while I take the shots... sadly I find that the presence of one usually ruins the enjoyment of the other. I certainly couldn't be arsed to go to the lengths you have - fair play
I love the twin challenge of capturing the beauty of cycling and that of the English landscape. It does take a lot of work though, as well as a lot of advance planning - choosing where to go, when to get there, what jersey to wear to go with the colour palette of the scene, and forming a vision of the image I want to take.
Getting this image i the soft light just before dawn, meant leaving the house at 3:30am and riding for miles along dark and winding lanes. I knew what I wanted though, and had it all planned. Even so I was glad when it came off as I'd hoped and I could head home for a well-deserved pot of coffee...
