# Your(?) bike has an interesting kick-stand.
Definite points for meeting Danny John Jules. More if you said, "FISH!" to him.

# That's not my bike
It's the Ducati 848 race bike for the in-house team at Ducati UK It's a standard single-swingarm rear paddock stand.

# ughh
I hate HDR. Looks really unnatural and wierd. Like its been shrink-wrapped and had the colours fooked with beyond recognition.
Not being cunty or the usual 'pour negativity on everything' that seems so popular on here, but ive always disliked HDR photography. Sorry!

# That's OK
It's not to everyone's taste.

This is the first time I've tried it and there are so many ways you can process the images and so many different results. Some look better than others.

I don't think I'll do lots of these but it is quite facinating when you start.

# hahahaha, there you go again
perhaps other people aren't being cunty and negative, they are just expressing their opinion like you just did ;D

# The thing about HDR
is that cameras don't ever see like the eye does. No sensor has the range to see the same tone or colour range. Good HDR is meant to replicate what the human eye sees. So when it's done very well you don't notice. When it's done badly it looks like a spilled bag of skittles. ( is that the modern one? I was going to say smarties but they might not even exist any more )
