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...
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...
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...

So after a number of days of getting my bike prepped up, I'm ready to go!!! This has been a serious overhaul. New tyres, (front and back), new brake pads, full service, new seat, new headlight, luggage rack and new kick arse alarm (Thanks to Kenma Motorcycles)! And on top that, I have finally bought some wet weather gear and a full face helmet (You don't want a rock hitting you in the face at 100kms / hr!!!). I'm super pumped...

I have been planning to do some work on the Harley for some time now. The main things that I wanted to scheduled to do was; fix my rear indicator lights (I did not put them on correctly when I fitted them last year), fit my new leather seat and fit a new headlight I recently ordered. Since my ride to Alice Spring for Riding4aCause.org is only 2 weeks away, it was time to knuckle down and do some work. Installation of the...

I have finished pulling apart the old road bike, and now its in a dozen pieces ready to be cleaned. Probably should have only taken me an hour to pull it apart, but I did it over a few nights to make sure I did it right and I inspected each piece to make sure it was in working order, or whether I needed to replace it. Here is a photo of all the pieces that I pulled off there. Obviously, some of them won't be needed like the...
