A few bikes….

These two caught my eye. They happened to be in line in front of us for the ride. As usual when the Park police showed up everyone scrambled to get on their bikes and get moving. Those boys have a few separate rides to escort in the day. So given that I never got a chance to talk with the owners of these.  Nice bikes though…. The Fh2 was on scene mode for this and it kinda washed out a little in the corner. I am an idiot and never remember to look at the settings on that little camera. I guess I should just leave it on idiot mode :)…

 

One ugly dude :)

OK, last shot of me I hope. Donny took this one with the Lumix FH2. I had the Lumix G2 on the mono pod and that was my main rig for the day. It was hot as hell. I brought a pair of shorts with me and like a moron didn’t change them….

I shot this with my phone just to see what it could do. Straight dump from the phone to wordpress on the phone.  Not friggin bad for a phone.

Rolling Thunder…….

I rode down to Rolling Thunder with my buddy Donny. We left from The Greenbelt American Legion in Greenbelt MD. This is an excellent place to leave from as they have a police escort all the way to the mall and a parking spot reserved for us down there. I would estimate there were over 500 bikes in the caravan and the park police got us down there in about 20 minutes. This of course is an unheard of time to get down town Washington DC without the police escort so thanks to them :)….. I don’t normally keep the bag on the back rest but today that sucker was loaded with Ice cold Bud Lights and they really hit the spot after walking around the mall for a while… Here is a shot of our bikes lined up ready to go…..

A shot from the Edison and Ford winter estates in Ft Myers, Florida

OK, I am riding down to the mall today for Rolling Thunder and will be shooting there. I am going to post this shot from The Edison and Ford winter estates today and will focus on Rolling Thunder next week.

The Edison and Ford winter estates is a really interesting place. It has the original buildings the two inventors stayed in while in Ft. Myers plus the grounds are one big flowing garden. This orchid was growing out of a tree and I think the colors pop. Canon G9 1/250th at F5.6…

 

Reflections….

I went to Philly a while ago and took the tank along with me. The tank is my Canon T-90. I believe the film I used was the regular old Kodak Max 100 but am not sure any more. This view of this building and the reflection kinda caught my eye and the tank did a nice job with it….

I’m back….

OK, so this blog has been dead for a while now but i am back. I have a new plan to post a photo a day. I know nothing for 2 years and now this. Well I didn’t say I was shooting every day, just posting a photo every day. I have a bunch I shot over the last few years that need attention plus I’ll still be shooting. So here is the first photo of the day post….

 

Spent a long weekend down in Fort Myers. My brother has this setup on the beach down there. Walking distance to a few bars and right on the water.  Photo was with my little Panasonic Lumix FH2. I am going to post a lot from this little camera as it is the perfect pocket camera and as you can see I have no bags on my bike but the front one so carrying a big rig is out :)…
