Zwift shots also require good lighting, but for most shots it basically comes down to the difference between your rider being in the shade (bad) or full light (good). Photography is just capturing light, after all. Here’s what each camera angle produces:Īny photographer worth their screen cap will tell you lighting is always a top concern. On Zwift Companion or iOS/AppleTV/Android look for the eyeball button to click and change the camera angle.

It’s a more restricted environment, but one with plenty of possibilities. You’ve got to pay attention to lighting, angles, background, etc. Just like “real” photography, getting a good shot on Zwift isn’t as easy as pushing F10. I upload pics from my Zwift sessions for the same reasons. Some are taken so I can remember that moment in time, while others are taken so I can share the experience with my Strava followers. These photos really only see the light of day on my Strava profile. Nowadays, though, most of my photos are taken with an iPhone out on the bike. One of my favorite hats has been photographer. I’ve shot portraits, products, weddings, food, landscapes… you get the idea. You can also choose from several Mapbox background maps, using the icon at the bottom left of the page to select from Standard (includes bicycle facilities as green dashed lines), Satellite, Hybrid, Light, and Dark maps.I’ve worn many hats after 20+ years as a self-employed tech guy.
