Tauranga Rant and Rave

[DingDong]

yes I do... what cause it, can I fix it?

I use a canon 20d, but may have something set a little funny...

Didnt mean to give you shit (yes I did), but the value of someone increases with their knowledge of the force... master Mike

Your camera's prone to purple haze aswell by the looks.

I have no idea what your on Padwan, but I think you've been smoking too much of it... the full images are sharp.

Purple haze is in the areas of high contrast. Look in the pic called slide11.jpeg

I just clicked, wrong name for it. I was meaning purple fringing, otherwise known as 'chromatic aboration' Dont know where the haze came from.

Have a read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_fringing

Photoshop is your friend with getting rid of it.

Awesome thrills had by all, a must do for next year.

I did expect more from you Gordie, trying to sabotage the girls bike like that and not so good at pushing it either...pics to come!

Was great to have SOME OF US there, we all had a cool as time, got some good...ish footage, although g not so good with the camera as he is doing wheelies. Great ride even after some of our crew got breathalised for warming up tyres, oops. G managed to sneak past me once while I was unaware but otherwise caned his butt there and back

Where were all you fullas that said you were going to the sidecar day? Well, you missed out on some awesome thrills had by all, a must do for next year.

Gordie you disappointed me, I did expect more from you, trying to sabotage the girls bike like that and not so good at pushing it either...pics to come!

glad to hear it was a good day. as for gordie, well he disappoints heaps of people get over it. G does seem to have a habit of sneaking one past people whilst they are unawares, its in his nature. but glad to hear you caned his butt, don't think it will keep very well, though.

For all those heading to Taupo tomorrow for the have a go day, have a shit loads of fun.

I had the best day ever! went out on the PB racing bike first off and after that I was almost just going to ride with them again, however with the people queing I thought I would give someone else a go. Wanderered off and bought more tickets before going on the black one with "Don't lick this bar" written on one of the grab rails (#47 or 57?) believe it was the swinger driving so had a nice sedate ride
Highlight of the day.. Having a go with John, on the then imaculate looking Guzzi which Brett used to swing on. Apon climbing aboard I first found the hand holds, the looked up and thought... Hmmm not much to hold me in here, best I hang on tight. With a push from the nice by-standers (no face plant like the other poor guy I saw do it) we were off, into the first corner I figured these guys don't need to warm up the tires, cause we were off and racing!A bit of air here and there, annd on what I thought was the last lap we continued on past the pits for another! YEAH! Pace was getting pretty quick, all was going well.. Small incident on the last lefthander, bit of sideways and superman action, creating a not so immaculate looking Guzzi I still wanted more! John was straight back out there with another punter. I think I told him a dozen times that day.. If he needed a test swinger he could call anytime Guess I finally understand what Brett used to rave on about!

I'll get a bike... it'll be grand, with Kentucky Fried Chicken Strips...
