Title: Took some shots of my bike at sunset the other night.
Post by: TurkeyChicken on November 11, 2008, 11:10:20 AM
2001 GS500

I've had it for about 2 months now and put about 600 miles on it.

Ah, didn't realize Lightroom did that when i exported the web view.

I shot them with a Nikon D50.  Most of those shots are between 2-6 second exposures and somewhere between 10-20mm (shot with a Sigma 10-20mm lens).

I have an SB-600 flash that I moved by hand and triggered manually.

cool man, love the shots ! get on flickr and enter some of the weekly contests like http://flickr.com/groups/nikond40challenge/discuss

don't let the "D40" fool you in the title. the d40, 60, 80 all share the same sensor, so they're all lumped into one competition. :)

nice shots, and i'd really like your take on that lens. got any more shots or links to your shots around ?

cool man, enjoy the ride, love the NM backdrop. beautiful !

v. nice.
personally, i prefer to see bikes on their side stand ....
bein' on the centre stand signifies to me that the bike is being serviced, oil changed, etc.

Great pics, just reinforces the need for a nice camera.  My crapper cell camera just isn't getting it done...

I need to do some work to it.  I want to cut off all the extra plastic below the license plate, sand and repaint the exhaust pipe (it's a little messy right now) and a few other things like getting new mirrors and a small windscreen.

LimeyYankee:  Do you know of a riding group in ABQ?

Y2K6GS500F: I was wondering why i lost 4 hours of my night...
