I have always loved the HDR photos that seem  to be getting more and more popular, and have always wanted to have a go at it. So after a few false starts, and a new lens for my Canon 7D, here are a couple of attempts of HDR images from Wentworth Falls in Australia's Blue Mountains.           And of the waterfalls...

A few months back, I travelled to Thailand for business. And I think like most people, I normally don't pay too much attention to the conversion rates when exchanging money, other than it feels like I am being taken to the cleaners. But this instance was interesting, as it was a fully paid trip, I did convert soe currency just in case, but ended up converting it all back when I got home, so I had the paperwork to trace back this...

I took the Toxic Lux Pipes to get them Ceramic Coated (which helps keep the pipes cooler) and I needed to re-wrap them with Heat Wrap. In a previous post I talked about the cracked pipe, probably from the heat wrap, but that was fixed. Basically the pipe had to be re-welded, then coated in Black Ceramic, and I then picked them up and re-wrapped with new fibreglass Heat Wrap (which I am still itching from today). Since today was going to be...

Before leaving for the ride, I realised that 2,500kms with loud pipes might be something I may not appreciate let alone my fellow riders. So I put baffles into the pipes of the V-Jet. The sound I was hearing out of Port Augusta didn't sound like I was without baffles, but it didn't sound like I was with baffles either. When...

It's been a week since I got back from my Harley ride from the Aussie outback on Steve Andrew's Black Dog Ride as part of the Riding4aCause team, and I can only describe it as being surreal. Today I read about my fellow riders getting back to Sydney. The 2,200kms seem insignificant to the over 6,500kms that they covered on their ride! There are a few things in your life that have a profound effect on your life, and many times,...

What a fantastic trip! I am so proud of my efforts! 3,300kms later, and I made it to Glen Helen Resort, 136kms west of Alice Springs. With sore everything, I felt it was a marvellous achievement, and all for a great cause. I will have a follow up post shortly about my wrap up, but in the meantime, here are some...
