And where there's sand, there is usually.... OIL! :clap

Thought I'd throw in a Pump Jack for good measure:

Sometimes e-mail doen't get the thought across clearly. I was asking how the shot was created. I don't suppose you found a mirror lying there, or did you? So, I was wondering if the mirror was real and lying there, or placed by you or a Photoshop creation? I really like it in any case and had no thought it wasn't your creation.

regards,

Gary

That is the rear view mirror of my motorcycle. I took the pic while sitting on my bike. I was using a wide angle lens, and had included the instrument panel as well. Unfortunately, the instrument panel was out of focus, so I just cropped the pic including the mirror. I think I like it better this way anyways...

I think it works really well. The funny part it that I have had bikes for 40 years and I couldn't figure that out. Thanks for the rest of the story.

ChrisDiscovering the smugmug, advrider, and dgrin communities has been a financial curse to me over the past 6 months... over $20,000 in purchases to date, and I still don't see an end to the madness :bash

1200 GS (with all the needed accessories)
Canon 20D (tripod, lenses, PS CS, etc...)

STOP THE MADNESS :help

I did post a pic of my bike over here (just one though :wink )... didn't want to overload these nice camera folks with biker pics!:

Nay, I say. The madness never stops. It gets less expensive over time, but only when you start running out of toys to buy! :scratch

And dont' sweat overrunning these folks with biker pics, a large large percentage of them ride as well. Funny how the two go hand in hand, sometimes!
