Shot a Bike Parade today

[hedmisten]

I went and shot a bike parade today for Toys for Tots with Stole The Shot Productions LLC. The owners asked me to get some crowd shots, so like any normal photographer, I got 6 pictures, stitched them together, adjusted, and made almost everyone in the same pictures.

Mmmmm nice pic but I can't find your FZ.

Is it swallowed up by the cruisers?

Dang I have never been able to get a pan shot to look that nice!

Great shot.:thumbup: You lined everything up really well.

Cannot find the FZ anywhere. This is harder than those find Waldo books.

The fz was not in there because I had to take the Jeep to hold all the photo equipment. However, there were two fz6 there. Both Red 2007.

Great shot! Do you mind posting how you took it? I'm still new to the whole photography thing...

I stood in the middle of the chaos and turned while shooting 6 shots. I took them into Photoshop cs4(any photoshop type program will do) and lined them all up using what are called Masks. After lining them up, I cropped them and resized obviously.

The original picture was 12,000x1600 pixels after cropping half the picture out.

Ahh quaker steak and lube...

We have one down here in charlotte. Its a bit over priced for the quality of the food. Is it the same there?

Ate there last night and my wife said the same exact thing. The first one I ate at on my Greenville to Pittsburgh in 1 day trip was really good though. Funny how they built it right next to the Harley Davidson Dealership.

Great shot(s), and you stitched these together really well.

Sorry I missed it. I'll be back in my hometown of Greenville, SC next week for Tday. Where was this shot taken? The area has grown so much, hard to tell.

Danged if I can find any FZs.

How come you never see any sport bikes at these kind of things? I went on a police officer memorial run once and I could have counted all the sport bikes on one hand. It was a police escorted run from Sacramento to Placerville. I have to admit, it was kind of boring but kind of neat at the same time. They closed the freeway to all traffic except the bikes. There were over 3000 bikes. Pretty neat to see, but a little boring to ride in. I've been on some long rides before but this was the only one that my butt actually started to get sore. Maybe its because the ride was a little slow.:mikebike:

Oh, BTW, the picture is pretty cool.
