Not to bad a year. (photo heavy)

Just happens every year around this time where I look back and reflect on where I have been. Every time it surprises me just how much land I covered. Thought this as good as any to share in some of those. extra; look for a couple video links between photos :wink: What about you?























:wink: Here's a video, to break up the stills. Hwy 101 curve on Vimeo
























An extra good time..









:wink:Yep another video. VFR ride on Vimeo







Yep I was at the track, just none of me, I'm the photographer, all though here's My son at one of the events getting a good line.







Not a bad year, not in the slightest. Thanks to those that where a part of it. May next year be as good or better.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for the 7000 miles behind me in the last year and those that rode them with me.
And here's to many many more in 09!!

 

Thanks for the pics Jay, awesome stuff!

 

Thanks for the photos, very nice.

 

you're all welcome....

 

I was on a couple of those rides in the pics; great times! 5000+ miles this year, saw a lot of amazing country too. Looking forward to next year and actually getting out of Washington (and maybe the US also)

 

Jay, nice shots.. Hopefully I will be able to spend a few miles on the road with you in '09, so we can all see you in front of the lens for a change.

 

Very nice Pics and Videos !!!

 

RVFR,
Amazing pics as usual, thanks. Being a bit of an amateur photog myself, I have been wondering what camera you use and, if its an SLR, which lenses you have been using for all these shots.

 

WTF LOL now i really have the winter blues... those Rd's look awsome!
thanks for sharing.

 

Hey Jeff...Nothing wrong with riding through the winter here you know. Suck it up dude.

 

Thanks guys for to comps, yea I know what you mean about the blues, good thing I can go back and enjoy it through the photos.

SFPA; it isn't anything high end, just a top of the line point and shoot for the most part, FujiS6500

it's been a great camera for what I use it for. Just last month I got a smaller
SonyCyper shot


as with the Fuji it ain't all the small so packing it sometimes bugs me, be nice just once in awhile not bring anything along but I gota have a camera so this little Sony fits in a pocket. but so far the Fuji is out shining it. there's never any short cuts huh?

 

you call the fuji a point and shoot camera? LOL hate to see what you call a throw away. nicely done again, I use a Canon rebel XS it does pretty good. I don't use the auto settings at all on it, all manual for my pictures.

take care

Jay, I am riding with you when the weather permits! Those roads look amazing.

Thanks for sharing mate.

 

That Fuji is puttin out some good stuff!! ..... only it still has to have someone do the pointing. You have an eye for framing, and proper light management, whether you realize/admit it or not.

I use an Olympus SP 560UZ as my point-n-shoot. It has an 18x (thats equal to 27-486mm on an SLR) optical zoom on it, and has the ability to shoot rapid fire at 7 frames per second, which is great for those fast moving targets like speeding motorcycles or Tom Cruise's falling career.

 

Great photos! Very inspiring!!!

 

Awesome "make me wanna ride" photos. Thanx for sharing.

 

Love the pictures, my summer was similar :cheersaf:. JIM
