Member Contributer TexOz Posted June 8, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 8, 2012 Well, a few miles later, did have to take a pic of the bike coming along for the exploration... Thats an awesome picture A massive +1 from me ... really nice pic sfarson. Although I'm no shutter-bug I certainly know what I like! My sister-in-law on the other hand is a professional photographer of some note in South East Queensland ... she told me just recently that she reckons blue skies ruin an outdoor picture!? I find it hard to come to terms with that statement but it seems to be true with your picture above - very nice indeed - the beautiful red 5th Gen helps of course!

Oh yeah, this has been my laptop's desktop for a few weeks now. Even did a print of it on my photo printer. Very nice. Which Droid are you using? I just got the Razr Maxx and haven't been much impressed with the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 capn... I'm experimenting with a Droid Bionic. To be sure, the image comes out best if there isn't any zoom, and the lighting/shadows cooperate. I haven't captured a really good VFR pic with the Bionic yet, but have lucked out with some good KTM pics. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted June 9, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 9, 2012 Sfarson...............do you use HDR software? Sure looks like it with the contrast! Regardless this is good work as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well, let's see them then!! Pretty please? BonusVFR, with a steady hand, using the elbow-on-knee as a "tripod", captured three images of the VFR at different EV bracket levels. This helped bring out the lighting and contrast. Polarbear, here's those recent Droid phone KTM pics... And this one turned out decent as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 OK Polarbear, Happened to pause today for a Droid pic. Dashed to the side of the road as I saw clouds above causing a light show with the sun's rays. Also, smoke from a massive wildfire 80 miles to the north turned the backdrop into a kinda dreamy look. Edited the pic to soften the VFR a bit, matching the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C :+1: With all respect to TexOz's professional photo in-law, the blue sky background, red VFR foreground pics have always been my favorites, it must be the contrasting colors. I have a few of my bike in similar settings and I've always considered them the best shots of the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
