Somehow I knew that someone would say something like that, but I was expecting it to be Don. whats is this "PC crashes" :

From a standing start, initial acceleretion on your car would be better. After about 100 kph, you'd swallow it's smoke (lots of it).Don wrote:

That's got three wheels so surely that makes it a trike? I wonder what they'd be like if saab built motorcycles?

unlike my old fj1200....it's hard to keep the front wheel on the ground in a first gear roll on....
2nd and third are just a clutch pop away from seeing nothing but sky......
comparerd to the fj1200 though the fz1 does feel a little nervous at 220+km/hr......not scary, but less planted and stable....gets there faster though...
Damn!!!! when is it gonna be spring....
My life's goal is to not just get another speeding ticket, but actually have the cops throw my licence on the ground and shoot it with more holes than Bonnie and Clyde had together....
yeah I see it. possible water droplet(s) causing light refraction? (sort of a bifocal lens effect?)
software glitch?
software glitch?

All summer long I have to listen to enviro-nazis talking about how it's my fault the the global warming is happening...then in the winter, my 300 hp all wheel drive van, with snow tires comes along and they're stuck in a ditch...and I'm thinking:
"Well, you shouldn't litter! Those compact cars are recyclable. How much gas did you waste trying to get out of that snowbank? I'd love to help you out, but my car should be banned, so I'll respect your principals on this one? What'd you do to piss off mother nature?"
call me petty.
(anybody who knows me, knows I would say those things...as I pull them out...lol)

I'm surprised nobody asked about technical aspects.
This shot was done outa boredom, but the self assignment was to use studio lights in a project that didn't look too...well obviously studio. Getting three diferent lightsources to co-operate was a challenge.
there was the motorcycle lights at iso 100, f4, 1/8 s
there was the outside light bright sun and snow iso 100, f11, 1/125s
then the studio strobes iso 100, f11, 1/160 s for the main (4 foot softbox off to left), f8.5 for the other two....
the contrast range between the dark interior of the garage and the bright sun and snow was wayy to much to record in one shot...without flash)
one shot for motorcycle lights
one shot for outside snow (lightstands and umbrellas removed from frame)
one shot for motorcycle and myself
tripod mounted camera.
pseudo hdr in pse layers simply erased.
so since nobody asked, I'm guessing the use of studio strobes wasn't too obvious?
with a serious subject, I may work a little harder but this was slapped together in under an hour, setup to publishing on the web....
