I think it would look like the still pic ;)

Amazing trees. I am impressed by just how much wood they put on, especially considering how little foliage (needlage?) they carry.



Whoa no. That is from a different grove. I can claim stealth, but the real deal is I'm an indifferent photographer. :mrgreen:
a guy that was a few years older than me when i was a teen that we skate boarded with is into taking pix.. he's always putting up some amazing stuff on fb.. he's really into this hdlr stuff.. i'm kinda torn if i like it or not, but i have to say, he does take some really amazing pix, and is good with the hdlr stuff as well..

completely agree giggles.. at times, it can be very beautiful, and at others, it looks too much like cgi imo, and it loses some of it's magic.. but when done right, it looks pretty cool. :D

Yep your totally right, I've had some come out not even looking real and then sometimes I'm like fuck how did I do that. It's like you have to be a damn magician to get it lol

Looks nicely lollipop'd but they could have packed them in alittle tighter if trying to run a SOG.
Damn right those top nugs would be huge!

how do you do hdr giggles?? from my understanding, you take say 3 pictures of the same scene, just all with different exposures and than use a program to merge the three images together and than use ps to add highlights to them??

Well I got the bike yesterday, the clutch needs to be adjusted or replaced, the turn signals aren't wired up and it needs some new K&n's but overall it's in good running condition. I ordered a Haynes manual for it so I can do my own repairs, I never let anyone else touch my vehicles except for the ford... I hate that thing.

All those new fangled doohickees and that maze of wires, I hate modern vehicles.

Ya the camera will do all 3 shots in 1 click for you, then you take it to the computer and use a program to make them all 1 pic. I use qtpfsgui[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] which does a nice job and it's free. You gotta make sure you are very still when taking them and if you take a pic with clouds in it it will really be noticeable.

It's an art in itself

i'd love to live somewhere that i'd be able to take something like that out for hours and hours and not have to worry about pissing off the neighbors, but living in the burbs it's not really possible..
i always got a kick out of the crazy dudes you'd see on dirt bikes and quads in the city going crazy riding the things in the middle of the streets and all..

ya,we have trails along almost every road.It gets dusty at times.The driveways are all jumps.You can fuckin rally down the trail and the troopers don't care.You see kids that ride to school.Some teachers even 4wheel to school.They cross at the lights on the highway.The coolest is when people drive their Monster Trucks around.Ok,so what if we're red neck?

what year, i got one too. 1985 is the base bike but most the parts are off an 84.. that thing moves. i ride my cr250 the most because its got enough speed and is good on a track and through the woods.. the 500 i think is just too much bike for tight trails

I ride a 89.Its got 99 suspension and ignition among a few other goodies.I enjoy my 500 but like you said those tight trails are a bitch unless they are dirt.Whenits all tree roots that sucks.I've had a few different cr250s.They come and go.My 500 is my baby though

I'm going to have lunch with my daughter today. I'm going to pick up a plant I think it's called Chinese lantern. It a house plant itlooks like pumpkin colored paper lanterns hanging from the plant. She like them and doesn't have one so she will today.
Not much else going on waiting for the 28th for the mediation and the end of the divorce. I'm trying not to think about it too much so I'm not worked up to far ahead of time. Karma and a good attorney. All I have to do is let them work.
