Looks like you're taking advantage of the new wheels! Any thought on putting some dual sport tires on that thing?

it's got some semi dual sport tires on it now. i'll burn through these and see what my riding style was and go from there. i've got a regular dirt bike if i feel like playing in the dirt. for some light trails/fire roads, these should be ok. i'm not sure i want to burn off a set of knobbies slabbing it to where i'm going.

I guess bokeh isn't one of the 100-400mm strong points

Did you do any sharpening or 'clarity' boosting or is it a higher ISO (even 200-400ish can be rather funny)? The other thing could be just a tight crop.

I never give 2 fucks about bokeh, I just worry about my subject.

Here's two with my 100-400:

It's definitely a tight crop along with highpass overlay (0.9) and that's about it.. Didn't mess with it much at all. I really REALLY like this lens. IS is also awesome, I'm a firm believer now

Now go take pictures of birds and planes...

I'm to lazy to make another layer with just the chipmunk, lol!

I should have some great bald eagle shots next week on my fishing trip. Hopefully a few bears/foxes as well.

Yeah this is pretty much the only place I go that's got them with any consistency.. We usually bonk (kill) a pike and feed the bird with it

I wish I had this lens last year, my 70-200 just wasn't long enough.. they are a bit spooky (Not a lot of human interaction up here)

I'll see your 100-400 and raise you an extra 20mm on the wide side.

80-400 at 400...

Dude - lol - you need to stop sharping/highpassing the background - lol. Seriously.... This is a great time to learn to mask better. Or try Lightroom 4, it's got a lot better than LR3.

But yes, that is a great shot.

That's why I said try LR4... It's got a few simple controls that will allow you to mask quickly and it's easy. Or as I said, time to learn to mask better (I suck at it too, but getting better).

layers are what ps is all about.

And masking is dead easy with a Wacom tablet. Use a zero hardness brush and draw in the mask, fuck selection tools.

LOL@cop comment

I'll admit its a bit easier to have fun on the bike with a badge in my back pocket. This was actually taken nowhere near NOVA. Northern Va SUCKS for riding in the DC/Metro area... i took this shot on my way home to visit the folks in Carroll County, MD. Its country out there and roads galore for bikes \:\)

And of COURSE we had a random ass cloud come over us on an otherwise gorgeous day when i was installing my Shock and link... thats the water on the tank. First time the bike had been wet since i've owned her.

You may be getting a pm in the future. I've been looking at tablets lately... as I hate selection tools.
