Been out snapping again. One of these days I'll stop shooting and ride my bike!

Mart,

I found you! Great shots. I especially like the first one due to the colours and this being nearly summer!

Great photo's. I really like one and three. Stick with the D80 and forget the bike. I look forward to your next post.

Best regards
Andy

I see what you mean Mart61 thats a very nice machine. I had a Yammy when I was younger and fitter. Stick with both and watch out for those Gatso's in your part of GB.

Best regards
Andy

Will do. Mind, when last I was in Cardiff a few months back, as soon as I hit the bridge, the place seemed to be full of speed cams...

Ride your bike to some beautiful landscapes and make some photos there. Have the best of both. :smile:

Thanks! Well, I did use a little unsharp mask on it but not too much in the big picture of things. The critter landed right next to me and, with my macro, I find I lose a lot of shots in the time it takes me to line up and focus. I snapped a couple of shots thinking to myself "This isn't gonna work...". And, whatdya know? It did! :smile:
