Bonneville Speedway pics

[Michael Hetrick]

I went to Bonneville salt flats speedway today to get Pegdragger his salt and while there took a few pics. I will load up some more in my gallery as soon as I convert them from RAW format to JPG.

The pics are good Mike and the bike looks beautiful against that white.

For some reason I keep thinking of Burl Ives

[Michael Hetrick]

Yeah, I shaved off my goat for job interviews and it makes me look like a big, happy guy. I hate it. I like looking menacing because people leave me alone. You coulda said a lot of things that wouldn't have bothered me as much as Burl Ives. :)

[Diamond Lil]

I'm sorry. I meant no harm. That is why I looked to find a happy picture of him.

[Michael Hetrick]

Kinda like if I said you remind me of Aunt Bea on Mayberry RFD. :)

[Diamond Lil]

I'll edit the post into an Ooops if you would rather.

All of them are good but I like the last one best.

[LAVrod]

The first one for me, great display of the perspective.

Thanks. I only could figure out the 10 second timer delay so I had to run my fat ass like a mofo to get positioned before the shutter went off. :D

[LAVrod]

You try the HDR? Seems like a nice setting because of the white grains and bright blue sky to HDR the shot.

Next time I am down state with family I will log on here so that my brother-in-law can see what you just wrote. He may just begin calling me Aunt Bea.

I really like the first one. Great composition.

I'm with the others ... pic 1 is my favourite! the fact that you had to run to beat the 10s timer just makes it all that much better!

[pegdragger]

Mike, I dont know about the D80, but my D70 Has a button n the back that you hold and spin the rear dial until the clock icon shows up in the read out on top f the camera where you set he shutter speed and etc...

I like the last one the best see more detail on the bike at the same time see the vastness of the area. Nice

[Kodatech]

Cool...now....how fast did you go? ;)

[Heavens Thunder]

Great shots Mike !

[Springer]

Great shot but it still looks too much like snow to me.

[pegdragger]

What happened to Mike anyway?

[Diamond Lil]

He uses the gallery, but does not seem inclined to post in the forums.

Too bad, I really miss chatting with Mike.

[tude]

Yeah me too...
He was the 1st to give me a welcome at the HD forum..

[pegdragger]

He was always good for getting people all worked up. I really enjoyed his posts.
