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

Nice pics . Why are your rear indicators mounted so high ?
Were the pics in Poole ?

[exbandit]

great pictures
what did you use?

[willbo]

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.

[Gassoon]

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?? !

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

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

:-) Ahem, sorry, WiFi/browser hiccup. I reported myself to the mods and asked them to delete the 2 dupes.
