| Re: My Laguna Seca postcard... A couple other interesting shots from my day. I wish I had another CF card with me today... I met 2 of 3 haydens, almost got runover by Zemke got face-to-face with the below schwantz/lawson entourage.
Amazing day.

| Re: My Laguna Seca postcard... Many thanks. I wish I were there too!
Don't forget now... pics of umbrella girls or fans who would qualify as such, as well as bikes and the racers are REQUIRED for the betterment of the .org (So far you are two for three)
So go out and do your duty! Have fun! (Like I really needed to say that!?) |

As many as you can spare. Some guys from our local club went too. I'll leach their pics over here if possible. We got a cell phone call to hear the bikes during practice yesterday. Sound sweet.

| Re: My Laguna Seca postcard... Lets see...
1. Had some good seats at the corkscrew (again)... So in sync; all the way left, all the way right.
2. After Checa ripped up some good laptimes, thought he deserved this pic.
3. MotoGP Super Motard qualifying was about 2:00pm
4. AMA has always been about my man DuHamel. (Sorry, for the bad photoshop work, I really don't use it much.)
5. Hayden deserves this sponsorship when he poses like this! |

| Re: *UPDATED* My Laguna Seca postcard... Nice work on the Duhamel composite...use the healing tool (if you have CS) or the clone tool (if not) with an opacity of about 30% or so to get ride of those lines.
Oh yeah. I hate you.  |

| Re: *UPDATED* My Laguna Seca postcard... NH, thanks for the tips. I really haven't had any time to do any real work on the photo's. Just a quick crop, levels and saturation... in the case of Duhamel... well... I just put it together in minutes and posted it. I'll work on it when I'm free.
Now... I got home about midnight PDT (3am on my schedule) so I'm exhausted. Here are just a few from today.
1. Nicky from start to finish.
2. Corkscrew pass.
3. Red Bull's new slogan, "Red Bull Gives you the Slow" |

| Re: *UPDATED* My Laguna Seca postcard... HEY!!! That scene looks familiar. I was right on the fence directly under the loudspeaker at the corkscrew. Was an AWESOME weekend. I have pics but not as nice as yours as I just took my wife's cheap digital due to space issues on the 600RR. |

| Re: *UPDATED* My Laguna Seca postcard... I'm no USA Patriot (since I'm not a citizen) but I am happy for Nicky. Here's one all you "He-man Hayden non-Haterz" will like.
Lets hope Hayden doesn't burn the flag... |

| Re: *UPDATED* My Laguna Seca postcard... I haven't decided what to do with them all. I have my own "site" (errr read: dumping grounds of stuff to share on the net.) So I thought about putting up a gallery but the volume is so overwhelming and I can't link them inline on the .org. I don't particularly like posting raw photo's... at a bare minimum I crop and adjust the levels/saturation.
Any suggestions? Perhaps I'll try the member gallery... please PM me the ftp info and I'll give it a shot. |
