Very cool pics Keiser. [cool][up]

[keisersozae]

thanks. the 2nd pic i didnt take, its me on the bike, haha. it was taken by txmotofoto.com. cool dudes, i just put some waaawa to it with the photomatix.

some pics work out better than others with that chit.

scheetz where were your photos taken? that made some cool shots of your bike.

[scheetz31]

Downtown Columbus...there are some great spots round town...just got to find them.

[tf1175]

keiser those are some sweet shots. I like that effect you put on the pics! some of the colors jump out especially in that last pic. How do you do it? Can that be done with a regular digital camera or do I need a fancy one? walk me through the steps cuz I would like to do this with my bike! make the steps easy to understand because I dont know camera language! haha

[marko138]

Here's one I did tonight.

[steve may]

Man! You guys could do A kick ass calender.

[squiers007]

Hey Marko, how do you like the barend mirrors on the bolt? Dont see that very often and was wondering if it makes a difference? Also do you have any pic from the front so I can see what it looks like? Thanks.

[xtremelow]

Does this count?

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/520_20090423104656_L.jpg

[marko138]

Squiers007...I like them. It took a while to get used to looking down at the bars to see the mirrors...but the view is much better than stock.

Here's a pick from the front:

[dave_xb12r]

Damn keiser, what filters are you using? that looks awesome! Here's one of my pics


http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/1832_20090427020135_L.jpg

[dave_xb12r]

Just finished this one

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/1832_20090602165342_L.jpg

[Midnight82]

Dang!!! I wish I had cool toys! I just have a camera on my friggin Blackberry. 2.0 Mega pixels just doesn't cut it.

[dave_xb12r]

yeah DSLRs are fun, but costly. I bought a kindof outdated one last year. Now its really outdated. [sad]

[keisersozae]

im using a 7.?mp sony cybershot, not an expensive camera. im using the program photomatix. all of my pics are the same setting for that program. if anyone wants my default settings they are more than welcome to it.

strength 100
color saturation 40
luminosity 7
smoothing 4/5
microcontrast 10

tone settings
white point 2.846
black point 4.012
gamma .81

color settings
temp 5
saturation highlights 0
saturation shadows 0

smoothing settings
all at 0

once you make an image with these settings it will include in your destination folder the settings you used so you dont have to input all that crap everytime, you just load it.

you can find photomatix on the internet for free as shareware then download the key generator to have the full version.

[keisersozae]

here you go xtremelow.

[dave_xb12r]

Thanks! Thats the program I've been using. I cant wait to tweek more photos!

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/1832_20090602211942_L.jpg

[keisersozae]

that program works best when 3 photos are taken all at diferent exposures then combined. but most of mine are just one photo.

[marko138]

I also use Photomatix...and I do multiple exposures. Never less than 3, but sometime I use 6.

[keisersozae]

i take tons of pics, most suck.

im thinking of spending some money on a nice camera in hopes they get a little better. [smirk]

[keisersozae]

you take beautiful photos marko

[onequick5o]

These all look awesome. I downloaded the program but I cant seem to use just one photo...whats up with that??

[keisersozae]

make two copies of the same photo so you have 3 of the same thing.

[marko138]

you take beautiful photos marko

Thanks!

[flaya564]

Keisersozae & Dave_xb12r

What is that effect you are putting on the photos?

Beautiful shots, they don't even look like real photographs, almost like an extremely detailed drawing.

[dave_xb12r]

Thanks!, Keisersozae gave me the settings. He explained it.. read his posts previously in this thread.

[Trill]

Thanks for the settings !!!
Can someone help me out with a key?

Wow that is AWESOME!

[briarsarmor]

Where did you get the program to do that Trill? And how much was it becasue I want to play with some of my pictures!! Oh and all I have to say about the picture of your buddy is reddddneckkkk lol.

Briar

[Trill]

Read the entire post.. plenty of info on the program, and have you even seen a redneck? lol he is nothing near what I would consider a redneck..

Here some more :) I'll get a few together and send them ur way dave.

[briarsarmor]

Okay thanks, and oh yes I have seen plenty of rednecks. I live in Oklahoma. He is lacking a lot to be a qualified redneck, especially a mullet.

Briar

[PorcelainRabbit]

hmmm, redneck...come to portland tn. lol. but i love the fishin pic. classic. lol. i need this program! i like the aura around that lightning and the four bikes in front of the neon tower at the gas station, i wish i had bueller buddies instead of ricers that dog on my buell all the time we ride.

personal favorite buell pic thats HDR so far is the keisers with the right turn sign. beauty lol.

[PorcelainRabbit]

personal favorite buell pic thats HDR so far is the keisers with the right turn sign. beauty lol.

oops, markos pic with the right turn sign my bad

[LVsleeper]

great shots guys, Marko I'd love to know what Camera/Settings you're using as well, if you'd divulge your secrets.

[marko138]

I use a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Probably 400 ISO setting, I dont remember all the settings off the top of my head. But I take all the photo's in RAW format, not jpeg...as the RAW isn't compressed like a jpeg is. Makes for a better picture in the long run. I often take 6 different exposures and merge them.

Kaisersowe,
Like the Honda Hawk, my first bike was a gray one...

[keisersozae]

Like the Honda Hawk, my first bike was a gray one...

It's been great for the 2,000 or so miles we've had it.

About to upgrade it for her with something. She likes the R6. I would like to get her a 9R or 9S but she rides mine and doesnt like the heat. [confused]

[Trill]

Went out shooting again today :)

[taildraggin]

The twin beech is one of my favorite planes. Nice shots.

The T-33 dually is pretty cool, too. She might have been a converted F-80 or was used for gun'ry training.

[funnythebunny]

Wow, that's a great program! I uploaded it, tried a few pics laying around and love the results! I paid via paypal ($2.99) for an unlock pass, and it worked!

I'll have to wait 'till spring for a good pic of the Scg, but for now here's a pic I did of my wife's XL883C...

I like it Pez...nice job. [up]

[Pockets]

Um... what's hdr?

[marko138]

Stands for "high dynamic range". Meaning multiple shots of different exposures merged into one picture.

[konarider94]

[konarider94]

interest sure died out on the hdr images.

[marko138]

I've done a few that aren't of my bike. Lighthouses, beach, etc.
