A little motorcycle show in Austin, TX, yesterday. It's what happens when MotoGP is in town. With a lens that does f/2.8 no flash was needed:

OK Chris - solve this! Find the vantage point and use a clean lens and better camera! Hint: location is 41 miles west of the peak and within 7 mile ride for me to get there! Should you choose to accept this mission, I'll go after your BOTM photo location!

Another hint - notice the two Mt peaks off in the distance! Mt Hood is to the left of this photo! Blah

Hmm I don't know that viewpoint. Ok I'll give it a go.

If you want to hunt down my BOTM May location, it's within 5 miles of my place and also offers this view:

Here's my failed attempt from today after work. I took this in Boring on the pedal bike, which looks to be too close.

Also ran into a motorcycle cop riding on the bicycle path, which is unusual. They're ditching BMWs and switching to the Kawi Concours.

Good effort and proper town! Improper elevation!
>> You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to darius again. :thumbup:

Ok I think I know where it is. I was headed to the viewpoint on the other side of Mt Hood Highway but my legs fell off. :D

Note to self, bring 100 horses next time.

Ok Randy, it was Jonsrud Viewpoint. I caged it out there this morning and was lucky to get the shots in before it completely clouded up.

Didn't really need the tripod but I think the polarizer I used helped since it was side lit.

However, it seems you missed the hint! ^bold^ :spank:

Great day for a ride tho!

You have a D80 that's on par with my D3100. Use the flaming thing. :D

Was your location an official viewpoint? I'm using Google Maps terrain view and can't really see anything above 800' where I was in the Boring area.

Made any attempts at my BOTM site?

Got a Flickr account on the weekend and was itching to try it out. Took an old photo from 2011 and tweaked it in Lightroom 4. I gave it some crazy parameters and this is what popped out at me...
