Just in for a couple of days and here's some fun from last weekend. Hey Warren, these guys are smart enough to run on a paved surface? Grin

Also since the front bike isn't sharp and in focus, it's not suitable for any stock site. SoLD Sad

Nice photo. Funny how we are expected to break the laws of physics to get photos like that accepted with stock sites. I suppose you could make your own telephoto tilt-shift lens

Hey Race ... I went to one of those races; do you think I could sell some B&W images of Kenny Roberts, Randy Mamola and "Fast" Freddie Spencer? Grin

PS: I can read Arai and Shoei; what more could they want? Tongue

I worked that station last year and moved down the track this year. The camera is mounted with a remote button and on a tripod. Not the best way to take pictures. In fact a terrible way. Day before I had a 2X on the 400mm and it was interesting, but nothing useful or marginally clean.

This one and done. Keep in mind this is "Off Topic" and hardly about micro or photography at all?

No I didn't edit this, just hit it with sharpen and did some minimal gamma correction. Irfanview!

Off topic but interesting. Tongue

Was this with the remote trigger?
I used to follow his little brother ... Nicky.

But this isn't off topic, nothing is, because we are on "Off Topic" Grin

Remote button from eBay, 400mm f/5.6 L, 40-D, 1/1000th, 200 ISO, manual (I usually just set for the grass or the shadows), MF, left thumb... crummy rummage sale tripod that's total junk. Duct taped the legs so they stay up and they still don't. Focal? Everything cracked and broken on it, MIJ or China, crap. Needs fresh duct tape.

Wow has it been that long? Another postcard from Pete's not suitable for stock, ( but I liked it ) collection... Cheesy

Stitched panorama, (try getting this all in one shot?) Plus they are all hand held, no tripods allowed. So actually it's kind of soft, but if you don't tell, I won't? Nevermind it won't be uploaded because it would never be accepted. LCV?

Keep this in mind. Everything isn't about money! Sometimes a person should shoot just for fun or for art, for a challenge or for a smile! I've been driving past this cave for 42 years, and never stopped. Well this time I took the time and enjoyed the walk. Cave #2 this month and I'm going to try to get in one more before December.

There's no reason why a hand-held stitched pano should be soft. Quite the reverse. If you stitch together 10x12MP images to get a 60MP pano and then shrink it down to a usable 12MP it will be five times sharper than a single, hand-held shot. The wider the angle of the pano, the slower the minimum shutter speed to get acceptable sharpness, just like using a wide-angle lens instead of a telephoto.

I routinely hand-hold for panos and there is no problem as long as you don't have moving subjects or something in the foreground. I find a focal length of about 80mm on full frame is ideal, since that does tend to eliminate the foreground.

You did look at the photo, right? Colored light bulbs in a cave? Whether it's one image or a set, there are some limits to hand holding in the dark and also the camera focusing in the dark, plus depth of field. Yes the additive nature of gigapans and composite images has not eluded me. I like taking 10-20 picture images and making a huge master TIF for editing and last of all saving it as a JPG of something more sensible. Under 25MB for stock.

But you missed the whole point and subject... Not Suitable For Stock, but I liked it. Cheesy

Let me help with a little hint here:
"Poor Lighting--Poor or uneven lighting, or shadows. White balance may be incorrect."

Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 1/13 second ===> 0.07692 second
Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 4/1 ===> ƒ/4
ISO Speed Ratings = 1600
