Wow, PAD production has increase in quantity and quality, we surely have a bunch of new talent with us (and some older back, beautiful camel btw).
Super-clear elevator shot msmoto.
Superb Peely22, it has a painting-look.
You always surprise me yetibudha, a bit on the same tones as Regulator75 one.
Thanks Juergen, I like your work.
Nice swinning shots Rx4Photo and adamz.
This pretty much concludes this serie, finishing with a beginning...

Photo and story…. A few years ago, Msmoto rode a Suzuki Hayabusa, prepped by a race shop, Winston-Salem Suzuki. She sometimes, when the traffic allowed, rode a bit faster than she maybe should have. On her way to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for "Bike Week", she came upon this V-Rod, and after following around a few cars, lit the fuse and went by…. maybe at 130 mph…. Well, later at Myrtle Beach, she found this guy and asked him about his bike. After listening to a lot of hyperbole about the bike, she asked him if he had ever been passed by a woman. His eyes became the size of saucers.
So, Msmoto, with a sense of humor was going to send him the photo, but could not find his email on his business website, but found his dealers for the bike polish he sold. She sent the photo out and captioned it with "Hi, this is Stan. I am polishing up my V-Rod after having been sucked up the tailpipes of a Suzuki Hayabusa ridden by a 65 year old women."
NIKON D200 12-24mm f/4 Nikkor at 14mm 1/320 sec @ f/9.0 ISO 160
P.S. Msmoto has calmed down a bit in the past few years...

I hope you weren't in the car when you took that last one, lolHeh, I should have maybe separated that statement and that photo a bit. ;) By virtue of my job in geospatial information systems (in essence, cartography!), I have stumbled across many scenes across New Jersey that few people would ever see. This isn't necessarily one of those scenes, but your shot made me think of this one from somewhere I turned around with the work van last fall:

@msmoto - story always counts :) and... one mod would love to ride Hayabusa one day :)

Msmoto, the story makes a good photo even better. And it was a good photo.

Portraits, portraits, portraits! There has been some really outstanding portraits on this site. I've really appreciated them because portraits are not my forte. Now I was thinking, how can I get in on this action? Well, who said portraits have to be of humans? No way are they restricted to people. So, I've created a series to post over the next week or so of animal portraits! Now, these portraits all use natural lighting, no flash, no lightboxes, no relectors, and--for the lens junkies--an 85mm f1.4 just doesn't cut it. All portraits were taken with, as I recall, my trusty 70-300mm vr on my D200, D700 or D7000. And since many were taken at extreme range, don't try to enlarge them too far. So enjoy!

I usually use Photoshop CS3 to do my editing at home, on the road I use Gimp but for the last couple of images I’ve used Photoshop.com’s online editing tools and I just don’t like the results but it’s all I got right now.
Rx4,
Camels are vile creatures that spit, bite, and smell bad. The pictured camel got just a little too curious and I ran back into the car! Soft stuffed toy camels are much better.Posted 1 year ago # -
Nice shots everyone. I need to get my recent pictures off my camera so I might have something to contribute soon.

@msmoto - story always counts :) and... one mod would love to ride Hayabusa one day :)Well, after 10,000 mlles and not killing myself, I took it to the dealer and said, "sell it". For any bike rider, to have the privilege of riding something that accelerates from zero to 150 MPH (241 KPH) in about ten seconds is something to be grateful for. An unbelievable experience. But, as one ages, it is a good idea to let the younger folks do these things. Like the MotoGP boys!
So, more photos tomorrow...less talk.Posted 1 year ago # -

Depth of field is always a struggle, so f/16 or smaller might help. But just keep on trying different techniques. That is the way everyone learns in the photo business. And keep asking. There are some excellent macro shooters on PAD, just look at the butterflies of Pierre, and a lot of others. Someone was doing bugs....Rifqi, I believe. And Regulator was into macro. So, watch, learn, and try it again and again.
@rschnaible, love the truck!
@Yetibuddha, funny zebra!

I'm also thinking about a complete dedicated macro lens
What would be a good mid class lens for making pictures like Pierre did with his butterflies? I think the addons are not sufficient.
