Hello,

Went out this morning about 6am for a nice 45 mile ride on my new V Strom, thought I'd post a few pics

I've seen indicators mounted like that before. I think it was the swmotech pannier rack. They needed to be moved so they can  cd seen with it fitted

Yes they were taken in and around Poole & Sandbanks. Indicators are re-mounted because of the panniers, makes them more visible when panniers are attached.

Cheers

Cheers,

I used a Nikon D200, 3 shot handheld pics. I find you get more details in the shadows, especially when you are exposing for a black bike in bright sun

Some of them look slightly "over-popped" (like you can tell on a $100 laptop LCD!). What do you use to blend them? (Nice shots though - much nicer than the extreme HDR you often see people do.)

Nice 'HDR' effect photo's.

Just wondering, what does HDR stand for? The images by diabolic are excellent, and seem very sharp. I'm a continual camera novice and guess it means High Definition Resolution?? ! :shrug:

High Dynamic Range. Basically a camera can only record a range of light, whereas the human eye can distinguish a broader range. HDR works by taking a number of photos with different exposures (each bringing out the most of a particular range, like lights, or darks etc) and then blending them together to create an image which then has a wider range than can be captured in a single exposure. Google it - there's tons of info available on it, and some stunning examples too. For example: http://digital-photography-school.com/1 ... done-right (http://digital-photography-school.com/19-beautiful-examples-of-hdr-done-right)

So a bit like posting the same answer three times then, so we can overlay them and get the best quality read ?
