I do like my holidays, day trips and favourite local roads, sometimes I even take a camera. Here's why I'll never make my fortune as a photographer...

Having said that, I've been arsing about with high dynamic range photos recently and have to say I'm quite pleased with the results. There's some motorbike ones on some of the pages below, there's more here, bigger and sharper, with music to boot. And not entirely motorcycle related. May take a little time to download, but well worth the wait!
