Got an awesome photo today.

[cowboyz]

just thought I would share.

Went up to the windmills right on dusk. Bit chilly but mint for trying out the new camera.

[Jantar]

Were they spinning?

[cowboyz]

yep. Fairly windy and damn cold up there right now. They were all going round in circles. Looks awesome. Especially if you stand directly under one.

Oh yeah. got distracted before and never finished my post!!! My Bad.


The camera is a panasonic FZ7 point and shoot. 6meg 6x zoom. Paid $189 for it. I wasnt expecting much from it, just a cheap camera that I can take on the bike, but I am really pleased with the outcome.

[chanceyy]

great pic Lance .. could be canditate for calendar :blip:

[cowboyz]

Thanks but I live in the wrong part of the country for that...............

[EJK]

[Bonez]

Going for a scoot tomorrow?

[cowboyz]

will be busy till about 1pm. If weather is good I was thinking about heading out a few roads I havent done in a while for a quiet one.

[Mike748]

Nice pic, makes me think I should make the time to get out on the bike like that.

[Meanie]

Great looking pics
Blardy awesome night out there wasnt it

[oscarnz]

awesome pictures, maybe Kawasaki would like it for an ad???

[Boob Johnson]

Yeah mint shot dude, calender worthy fo sho :niceone:

[No FX]

Brilliant pics (Captains Log 03.05.08-- Must...take camera on.... more rides..)

[tri boy]

Good stuff dude.:msn-wink:

[cowboyz]

well I would hardly call it a ride. Total distance 28km.......... Time 1.5hours. Actually, it does sound like a manawatu ride..........

[discotex]

I like hug a pole. (pic 7 of 16)

:beer:

[DingoZ]

Noice photo there ..

Sometimes the cheapest cameras can actually produce some spectacular results......


:)

More please....

[Bonez]

well I would hardly call it a ride. Total distance 28km.......... Time 1.5hours. Actually, it does sound like a manawatu ride..........It's all about social intercourse or something like that.

[woodboats]

Great shot.
One thing I really enjoy is seeing photos of rides through bikers eyes.

[cowboyz]

To be honest it is nice to get some bling for some quality contribution to the site rather than pissing taking and abusing people.
Pleased peoples are liking the photos.

Cheers

[smokeyging]

Yep, nothing wrong with that. those panasonics are good cameras, for 30 years i have been an avid canon bloke, buy recently changed to panasonic, i have'nt been disappointed.

[Joliet]

Really nice picture :) some winter sunsets can be really stunning. :niceone:

[fergie]

good shot, get it printed and framed.

[ynot slow]

Nice other pics too,amuses me when people give the wind towers crap about the look of them,you have done them justice,nice setting with sun setting.
What brand of camera?Bike looks cleaner than mine as well.

Trip time of 1 &1/2 hours for distance could mean you got lost,nah never.

[martybabe]

Nice pic, I too managed to get out today in the Taranaki hinterland,before rain stopped play. Buggered if I know what the lakes called but it sure was pretty.

Ignore the top box, It's just there to carry my duty frees from whangamomona. Boy was I misinformed. :laugh:

Pansonic FZ-7. No I didnt get lost! It would be a bit sad if I did considering I live right under the windmills. It was just a nice night to take some time out and have a few smokes.

Nice.............

[cowboyz]

very arty!

[gummibear]

Did you take it on any special setting(av, tv, manual)? It Looks great!

[cowboyz]

I took it on the highly techincal 'auto' mode. I am not a photographers asshole to be honest. 'auto' is the only mode I use.

[ynot slow]

Auto is best for all things.My Canon EOS has all sorts of settings on manual,but never seem to play with them,and it's a damn good film camera with two lens.Need to practice with the settings but write the settings down,much easier with digi camera as you see it straight away.

Bikes look shit hot by the water not in it lol.

[shafty]

Thanks for sharing a goodie Cowboyz - a great reminder of what bikes are all "aboot"

[Meanie]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...........you got that right :rofl:

Where abouts did you go to for pic looks like lake rotokare by Eltham,but ages since been there,you didn't get to Hawera today with a few others for a meal break about 2.30 ish?

[cowboyz]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...........you got that right :rofl:

[flyingcrocodile46]

[Meanie]

Not skills, just right time right place.
Someone had to capture the moment for ya, I still get a kick out of that every time i read one of your posts.

[oldrider]

Enjoyed your windmill shots cowboyz, specially as it is from my childhood area too but of course the windmills weren't there then! :lol:

I am taking the liberty to post a couple of pics of where I live now, on your thread.

Went out to have a look at the display of colours of the trees that occurs at this time of year all round here, thought I might share too. :niceone:

Hope you don't mind. :) Cheers John.

[cowboyz]

nice. that second pic would look magic with 3 bikes riding away from the camera.

Nice pics John,they certainly show why we should visit our country first,the whole area of Central Otago,Arrowtown,region is awesome this time of year,can remember being in Invercargill for the May school holidays back in 1976,the return up the middle was great.

[cowboyz]

No. 1 and about 10 (the one with the bike, sunset and windmills in the pic) were the best.
