Hey Bara I hope you don't mind I thought I'd try taking your 3rd pic in a different direction

that looks hot tim

ahhh damn that's right I messed with the colour and forgot to remove it a little b4 I cropped and desaturated - the green and light could be better, but you get the idea

What photo editing software have you got? If none, grab something half-decent (should be able to find something free, let me know if you need a hand), then you need to use a "saturate/de-saturate" brush tool to remove the colour you don't want.

haha oi orsm job tim, love the effect... intending to do some photoshoppe with some of the pics when I get home from work next week...

did a similar thing few years back with my old kwaka, just didn't have the same backgroud to set the photo off

3 more from me.

tried some Phtotshoping to make some pictures look cool

Original image. Not bad imo

Glowing edges


Black and white background tinted brownish. Took a bit of saturation out of the bike as well

This is in Kangaroo valley. Applied simplified edges to the picture, a bit like the less complex nature of rural life

Took this a couple of weeks ago, just at the entrance to the black spur. Was up in there scrubbing in new tyres. Trees are still black from the fires, green shoots just starting to show the area revival.

I didn't do much in Photoshop except add the words - I find it works as a pic, has a ZX10, is the black spur and the remnants of Black Saturday.
Then I played with Photoshop a bit...

on waterfall way at Ebor when i was riding up north coast of NSW

3 shots from newcastle...

the second one is great. What lens were you using?

70-200F4L...

cheers for the compliment. I have a bunch of other shots im working on too, just trying to find time to edit

I know there's no bike in this pic but i think you can use you imagination
maybe you can guess where this road is. If you guess right you will get a big well done from me
