Very nice! I wish I had the $$ to get a nice camera and start taking some basic classes.  I used to know someone who was a self taught pro, but never got the chance to ask for lessons, ha. 

Those shots make me want to do some epic road trip!   ;D

wrench you have a good eye for photos, keep up the good work, ill have to keep checking in to see new postings. remember 1 pointer for you, when taking pics of ur bike,
1. never take a picture of your bike, where the back ground by itself isnt worth taking a picture of. happy location hunting to you bro.  :thumb:  :+1:

Are you saying my house is not worth looking at, Cratf? :P lol
That was just a spur of the moment shot, really
Thanks man, I dunno, I guess I just know what's gonna look good. 

And Nihon, it really is a shame a good camera is expensive...you'd think the price woulda dropped by now eh? As for epic road trip...I'm sure C-dub and I would show ya a good time around Alberta (I'd say its a safe bet she knows how to have a good time :spank: ) lol

spring for a DSLR camera,  its a whole new world.   Take the camera off Auto.  Learn to use the camera and what settings and features do what.    Take lots of pics, even pics that you know have no subject, but use the pic to learn more about your camera and lighting.


I am no pro by anymeans, Im not even amature.  But i have had some equipment and been on some photo forums adn know what the pros consider to be photography.   

Take thousands of photos, delete 99% of them.   Only the ones that really make you say wow are the ones you keep.


having too many pics makes it hard to comment on them.


3rd to last, the fence post in front distracts from the subject

4th to last, in this case to me the fence is part of the photo, the power lines are not.

cat and horse are out of focus or not sharp.   in the next one up the guard rail should be omitied.

the one of your house from the hill,  at very bottom is a guard rail, things like that you have to watch for, reframe just a little, zoom in or take a step forward and omit that

I like the dog ones,  :)



the one with the bikes, the dude standing there,  ask him to move.


sorry if I seem to be nit picking at every photo,  but those are the things that will set a photo apart from a snapshot.

Yeah, with my luck, I'm sure that they'll be expensive just as long as I am interested, then when I actually buy one, they'll drop by 50%,  :banghead:
I'd really like to see more of the great North, but I'd have to have a different bike, like an adventure bike or a supermoto or something...I can't handle getting my RR wet.  Maybe someday I'll make it up there...
