Maybe Thursday The V8 Supercars have a practice day & you just never know who will be there :thumbup:

Is it the upcoming Thursday? if so, figures I'd be back out at work :spank:

My wife & I went to the grand finale of her Michelle Bridges 12WBT challenge last night & our youngest son took some pics for us :thumbup: I was stoked with these 2 & thought I would share :rockon: :rockon:

WOW !!! Photobucket strips the quality out of things :spank: :spank:

A beautiful day in NorCal so I decided to work on my street photography skills while getting some fresh air.

I've been fed up with photobucket taking a gigantic dump on image quality and reducing the resolution to 1024 for a while.

Found this: Minus - Share simply.

They allow uploads without registration and do allow hotlinking. Reviews say they don't reduce image quality at all.

Check out the my updated shots here, reposted 1440 pixels wide on minus:

:rockon: It's 2013 and we can have sharp images! :rockon:

I use photobucket for hotlinking pics on forums like this one but not to store my photos. For that I use my computer and a hard drive. I back them up once in a while on DVD's, they don't crash or get corrupted if you store them.

Eric, I see your GoPro pics and they forever immortalize you having fun. I saw that white stuff in a movie once. We rarely get any where I'm at in central Texas but used to in the mountains of San Diego, CA, where I grew up. I miss that.

Just mounted my Contour GPS camera to my helmet. One of the two settings (using a 1-2 switch on the camera) is for still photos and I have it set for every 5 seconds. Will test it out tomorrow on my ride to meet the fellas for lunch. One of my friends got run off the road a couple of weeks ago, bent both wheels on his C14 and destroyed both tires. He got it back this week. Well after that little incident he started wearing his GoPro3 on his helmet and recording every time he rides. Cost to repair his bike was over $2000 but thankfully the other guy's insurance paid for it. Had he not taken a pic of the guy's license plate with his cell phone all would have been lost as no one stopped to assist or be a witness and the guy did drive off.

I know that is a little off topic for this thread. Next month I'll be visiting San Diego with my fiancee and her 17yo daughter for a week. We'll be at the Zoo and see the USS Midway among other things. I hope to get A LOT of pics!

Congrats Humpy and great pics. Those rigs look like they might cost a pretty penny or two....

 

[DownrangeFuture]

Holy poop. Airbrushing a bike can cost $2000 easy. I can't imagine how much that costs on the rigs.

Congratulations on moving up to "pro" status and getting paid! The shots look good. I'm figuring you used HDR to process as the colors really jump out. The red on the BSA Transport truck really pops and the chrome looks airbrushed with the brightly reflected colors. The event sounds cool, must've been a real treat to see!

The "Mean Intentions" truck and a couple others have firearms on them. Aren't those illegal in your country? Ha!

In Texas the customized dually pickups with 4 doors, etc, are called Cowboy Cadillacs. These rigs, there's a lot of money and customization going into a few of them. I'd say they're Trucker Cadillacs.

Do "twenty year old film prints, scanned into the computer" count as photography? :BLAA:
Photos may have been from an old Kodak p/s, but more likely the old Nikon that I had.

I took this picture the other day, which I really like. The dog was called crazy and spent the day following her owner as he gave us a tour of the jungle.

Gee, Humpy, that's a nice little lens there. One day I'll get something similar for my Sony camera.

Took this today of a small red bud tree in my front yard. Angle isn't the greatest and the buds are just starting to come out. In another week or two hopefully it'll be in better bloom

I fixed up the JPEG a little to enhance the color some and add vignetting using Photoscape, a free program. Still wanting to get Lightroom 4. Soon, very soon. I know this doesn't follow the rule of thirds but think it's acceptable.
