I saw a pic of a girl taken on a bike at sun set and thought that it looked cool. So myself and a friend went out and took some pictures. Here is one of me with my Bandit 1200.

Very artsy! Would make a good wallpaper.

Great Picture! My hubby now wants a 1200, riding mine just for fun he has realized that they ROCK!

That is exactly where it is sitting at. I like playing around with photography, I just wish I had a better camera. I took a semester of photography in high school and learn a few tricks here and there from a photographer who comes in on occasion to do class pictures for my students.

Where's the sun? I thought it was supposed to be of a sunset.

No, the picture was taken as the sun was setting. BTW, it was right behind me. If you want to see the sun, here is another pic that I took. I am not sure if I really like this one, tell me what you think.

One other thing that I just noticed. I don't know if it is my monitor, but I know that the copy of the first pic is a lot more clearer than this one posted. When I reduced the size, I might of accidently reduced the resolution a bit as well.

The first one is better, but far. To me anyway.
The second one would have been better if the sun wasn't 'melting' into the tank - say if it would have been over the seat instead.
I tend to actually like pics where you get lens refractions (or whatever the term is) in the pic, but I like the old-fashioned hex shapes, so the orange football doesn't do it for me.

I'm not even a good ametuer, just enjoy taking snapshots and sometimes I get lucky and come up with some I like. One of my fav's is this silhoutte shot near dusk of my friend, Matt:

This one winter sunset wouldn't have been too bad - if I would have just turned off the freakin' date stamp!

That would be easy to photo shop it out. I do like it though, especially the reflection off the water. I like to try and experiment with photography. Sometimes like this last set, I will go out and try it. Afterwards I will see what worked and didn't and try it again from a different time or angle to see if I could make it work better.

Cool pics, ain't it great just to be there.

I am about to photoshop the second pic to get rid of the extra sun spots to see if it looks better. Well I gave a shot, but trying to get rid of the football is pretty tough to texture in. It did look better without the sunspots, but I couldn't seem to texture it right.

Here's a couple I took about a month ago. Trouble is using a digital camera; it just didn't do the sunset justice.

Oh, here's another one

Here's one of my 600.... haven't found a good sunset for the 1200 yet.
