    Default Night shots

    I took these in natural light using a Canon power shot SD800 IS. They were very dark, I adjusted the brightness level in Photoshop to reveal the image.

    Hi Mike,

    To get a night time shot without having to photoshop it... Try putting the camera on a tri-pod and using a slow exposure. If the camera doesn't do it automatically, then slip it into manual mode.

    Nice job of photoshopping the shots by the way.

    Thanks for the suggestion John. My Camera is a small point and click shooter about the size of a pack of cigarettes, there is no room on my Harley for luggage. I carry my Camera and Phone in the same pocket.

    The shots came out looking very good, Mike. They look as good as any film night shots I have seen.

    Does it have a manual Mode? Set it up on something stable like the seat of your bike, and set a 10 second timer... The camera should stablize after your trip the timer and then you can have a 1 second exposure... It would make your work in photoshop easier. You wouldn't have to dig in the dirt as much for the shot.

    Mike, as in the two example shots --- telling everyone and everything to freeze for a second wouldn't have been that big of a deal, no?

    Hmmm... Telling a bunch o partying bikers to "freeze" would seem to be asking for trouble.

    That is almost as bad as walking into a redneck bar and asking who's pickup did I just back into...

    Just before my son was born, I won a "HUGE" stuffed duck while up at Old Orchard Beach in Maine (USA)
    It was my first year up there sans-my ride.... There was a large group of "Star Riders" and I walked up to the biggest, baddest lookin one and said... "Can I put my duck on yer ride, for a pic"??
    ........ He burst out laughin (lookin over at my "then" pregnant wife) and said "Absolutely"!!

    ( I don't think I have to tell John.... just how completely relieved I was)
