HI All, Well left my bike in the shed once again and headed out with the D2X to have a play so here are a few shots out of a heap i took. Had a bit of rain so gloomy day, D2X, Sigma 70-200 and some flash.

Couple of dogs getting in on the action.

Cheers

Nice shots, John.

Did this happen all over the country?

We were in Newcastle today and caught some of the people and their beautiful machines on their Toy Run too.

Yes, We ( Myself & Matt.K) saw them at Salt Ash, the spot we stopped for a cuppa and a quick breakie prior to heading South yesterday. I took few shots of them once they started to depart to Newcastle to join with their fans.

Yes Leigh, i guess they would have had them in different places around the place some maybe on another day but is an anuall event. They had something like just over a 100 bikes here this year so a good collection for the needy.

These are all very good and it looks like you're getting on top of the camera focus issue. The last one is great - the man has such interesting character in his face and the B & W is the perfect treatment.

Stubbsy,
You forgot the dogs, they're nice portraits as well! or you just like cat instead of dog. :lol:

No the dogs are great too (espcially the Boxer), but the last one is the best.

Thanks Peter, yes i think i am getting the hang of it slowly, and when i seen this fellow who i know and nick name is Pasty,LOL i thought this would make a good B&W. There was once when near every shot i took was out of focus and not sharp so this is an improvement on what i was taking when first got the camera a couple weeks ago, still lots to learn and Fozzie and myself are going to try some plane spotting etc.. in 11 days on my next big trip to the big smoke of Adelaide.

Anyhow have done my good dead for the day local rag is using me as a local photo stock suplier.LOL Rang me looking for pics as usual, oh well gets my name around a bit freebie's but i dont mind.

Cheers
John
