15-JUL-2007

We followed several quad bikes on the highway.
From the amount of dirt on them they must have
been out tearing up some part of the countryside.

This is really at it's best viewed in original.
I was rather pleased on how it turned out as it
was shot through the windscreen with the handheld 75-300mm
as we drove. All I have done is resize & sharpen with Irfanview.

Still trying to catch up with comments...

love this shot! great light and textures!
Jackdad17-Jul-2007 21:14
I suppose that thing is fun for someone. Does all the mud mean the ground is soft due to rain?
Guest 17-Jul-2007 20:17
Looks a lot better in original. Great end of day light.
Guenter Eh17-Jul-2007 20:11
From the thumb I thought it`s a tank! Fantastic POV and light!
Karen Stuebing17-Jul-2007 19:55

Great shot of the end of day fun. V
Guest 17-Jul-2007 05:23
These quads are a real disaster. Hopefully that won't last, as it burns an awful quantity of gas (do I have new friends, now??).
You managed the light and the motion very well for sure!
Yvonne17-Jul-2007 04:27
You amaze me with your drive-through shots & this is no exception!
Dave Wixx17-Jul-2007 03:46
Superb shot given the circumstances. You need drive faster - you're obviously not getting enough dead bugs on your windscreen!!!
Simon Chandler17-Jul-2007 03:23
Great shot. Unique and interesting. Good light and tone. v
Guest 17-Jul-2007 03:03
Definitely more brutal in original. The sharpness comes through beautifully.
Guest 17-Jul-2007 02:07
Yeah, very cool. V
Guest 17-Jul-2007 01:48

Cindi Smith17-Jul-2007 01:30
LOL at Petesie! Too funny! great angle and I'm sure they had a blast!
Paul Dovie Jr17-Jul-2007 01:09
Really a great photo for being handhelded. Very sharp and the detail and lighting is great.

Fantastic handheld and through the windshield..great shot, Laine
CIS16-Jul-2007 22:40
Hmm, thought for a moment there that you had a new mode of transportation. :>)
Andrew Vincent16-Jul-2007 22:34
Thought from the thumb that you had gone to Iraq, looking down the barrel of a cannon (not your Canon)! VOTE!
Robin Reid16-Jul-2007 22:29
Sharp as a tack and quite a looming view. V.
Guest 16-Jul-2007 21:15
Looks like someone had fun.... nice shot.
petesie16-Jul-2007 21:00
I wasn't the thumb, I SAW the thumb.
petesie16-Jul-2007 21:00
It looks like they had fun....when I was the thumb I thought you had found a metal alien with pixie ears.
Gary Winters16-Jul-2007 20:57
Good work, Laine!
Hans Meerbeek16-Jul-2007 20:48

Guest 16-Jul-2007 20:33
AAre you sure that's not your bike,Laine? LOL
Guest 16-Jul-2007 19:54
Interesting subject. :) It took me quite sometime to figure what it was until I read your caption. :) Nice capture Laine. The timing of light you've captured is great. Gmv.
Zak16-Jul-2007 19:43
it's nearly as clean as the Pug!
Al Chesworth16-Jul-2007 19:37
These are farmers toys for bringing in the cattle, even the dogs will be redundent soon.
Johnny JAG16-Jul-2007 19:27
Not a bit of shake! I'm impressed.
Guest 16-Jul-2007 19:22

Victoria16-Jul-2007 19:17
Wonderful light , beautiful shot
Ray :)16-Jul-2007 18:39
I'm with Dave - can't these guys take up flower-arranging instead? ;->
royalld16-Jul-2007 18:34
That is a nice shot. Great light.
(royalld editorial: I think recreational off-road riders should have to plant a tree for every gallon/liter of fuel they burn while tearing up the countryside.)
