you take that with a camera or a camera phone?

iPhone 5.

I was tempted to say Canon 5D mk2 to mess with you... but there's no way I'm carrying that (in addition to the 5kg of other crap in my backpack) up the hill!

(smarty pants)
have you applied any filters? it looks really foreground-focussed

Straight out of camera man!

Nahhhhh. Jokes! Did a bit of touch up in Photoshop (on the Mac) afterwards. Curves, Saturation, Contrast and messed around with the lens blur filter (for the first time) which accounts for the depth of field slash foreground blur.

Not bad for camera phone though, first time I've messed around with an image from an iPhone 5. The data is much nicer than the 4. Almost passable as a DSLR.

To compare (if you're curious)... this is the image I posted earlier:



Minus the lens blur:



And this is with no colour correction, contrast, curves or anything. Just cropped. Straight out of camera... phone... camera-phone... whatever, you get what I'm trying to say:



Edit: tinypic ruined the images. Uploaded to photobucket.

Not a new bike but perfect for me.

Broke my old rims and waiting on parts so bought these rims.

"Powered by Sram", rolling provided by Shimano... hehehe..
It is a fine looking machine - just the 'powered by' sticker doesn't fit - especially when it is you - the rider - providing the power. (unless your name actually is SRAM.)

More Ridley love...

*Dropped the stem and removed the fulcrum decals.. Just need to shorten the cables..

That Ridley is a seriously chunky bike (Mean that in a good way). Is it a really stiff ride? My limited knowledge of tubing knows that big tubes mean stiffness.

I think we need more bikes with big stickers in this thread.

I think rabo needs to buy more bikes.

LOL, seriously, do you get to ride them equally in a week

I wanna see hi on his bike so I can tell him I've seen it cheaper elsewhere ...

Yes its very stiff but comfortable. The Noah frame is very heavy even for an aero frame but is certainly fast.

Aero > Light Weight

Picked myself up a new MTB on Friday and took it for a spin over the weekend. Fantastic machine!

Looks comfortable ^

New spinny bits for the Fuji

My first ever carbon bike Azzurri Forza Elite Black.. Taken at Mount Coo Tha Brisbane

So quiet and smooth... I'm going to enjoy my commute even more now.

Wow some nice looking rides on here. Here's mine before Mandurah 70.3. Tried to make it a little different from all the other P2's out there

After 2 years on a Merida flat bar, my first road bike. A Roubaix Expert SL4.

Sweet ride Niz. You aren't from Hobart are you? Pretty sure I saw a guy walking one of those out of the shop recently.

I think I have the same bottle cages, they are good. 3000km of riding and racing and never lost a bottle. Bonus is they don't scratch up your bottles[yes of course it matters ]

Like the 80's touch on the tri bars.

Lol thanks. It's back to normal now but heat shrank some fluoro tape on there to
Make it easier to spot in transition.
