Tonights pics form the race track! (what a camera)
A friend of mine named Rob brought his high dollar camera and lens out to the track tonight and snapped some pics. The red 14 is SmokinZX14's bike and the three together is Rob, Sam, and mine. They are all 2006 model bikes, ZX14, ZX10, and ZX6 (Daddy, Mommy, and Son). One big happy family!

Great pictures Tony..... was worried about those gorgeous bikes tipping over in that grass..(im sure you had that covered) its not only the camera but the len's...and of course the person taking the shot ... kinda like you guys drag racing.... The Bike (camera)...the stuff youve added (lens) and the rider (photographer).. youve got all 3 working for you in both cases......thanks for sharing

Smokin...where'd you get that there kickstand? Home Depot? Why not an adjustable? I love the adjustable I got from spencer cycles, just had to get it powdercoated.
Sweet camera.

I have cut and welded the kick stand 2 times !!!! lol... I just need to cut it once more ...lol ....It's fine till i strap it down , then it just gets a little upright for me to feel safe while strapped ....So for now home depot works good ..

Thanks everyone and tony. Some of those pictures where supposed to go in the trash tony. I almost bought a new lens today for night pictures and I was happy. Then the guy told me he made a large mistake on the price and it was actually $1600 . I politely declined.
The camera is amazing to say the least. I on the other hand hope to graduate past beginner some day. The 2 pictures of lee's 14 at the beginning are the only 2 pictures I took in manual mode and all the others were all the work of the camera. actually the back of the black one I think might have been in manual also.

here are a couple pics that were just point and shoot but I thought were pretty cool.
just a flag at the golf course

I like hockey and was messing with the camera settings and pointed it at the tv and this picture happened. dark but it adds some serious mood I think.

Hey Rob... what type of camera & lens you using? $1,600 huh....any chance that being the Canon 70-200 f 2.8L IS USM ? If so i highly recommend it for fast action night shots.

WOW! Looks like I can reach out and grab that flag! Awesome quality!
HEY TONY, do you have HELI-BARS on your 14? If so, how much of a difference is it and does countersteering feel different with them?

HAHA, sorry then. It must be the angle of the picture then, because your bars look high to me.

The camera is a nikon d80 and the lens is a nikon 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 vr. not very good for night shooting in my hands at least.
Whoever thinks they wish they could take pics like that can. buy the camera and lens and set it to auto and snap away. it really is that easy with this camera.
