I challenge anyone besides Roadstergal to show picts from any other state that can produce consistently beautiful outdoor picts like the California sun can.

Kerry does very well with what he's got to work with, but the UT sun doesn't show very often, as evidenced by his picts.

Can we get some picts, of the bikes of course, that can hang with CA-based photo's?

the problem isn't that there aren't beautiful places everywhere, it's that for the most part most of us aren't photographers.....my wife is, but she doesn't take pics with the digi cam.....she uses the old school approach (35 mm).....

....maybe later today, I'll scan some of her renderings in....

Thanks.  I like it too, but I can't quite put my finger on why.  I guess if I had that figured out, all my pictures would be good.  Was considering cropping the bike out and making it my avatar :dunno:

Spring is the start of a new riding season.

It doesn't get any better than that.

You're from MN, right? Didn't you ever go up to the north shore of lake Superior? Some of the views off of the Superior Hiking Trail are absolutely beautiful. I don't have anything digital, but If I can remember, I'll scan some of my photos in.

Maybe I'l have more once I learn how to use my new digital camera. I haven't been able to get much out of it yet, but I can't tell if it is an issue with the camera or the user. Even if I do learn how to use it, I don't think it will take pictures as good as my 35mm SLR can. Apples to oranges, I suppose.

Here are some photos of my last ride I never got around to posting. The first two are a little underexposed, but that's operator error from using a PHD camera.
