    this thread exists on adv and is a great thread, so I thought I would try to start one here and see what you guys can come up with.

    last weekend I got to ride my maxim on the beach at Cannon Beach, Or.

    I've got pictures of mine sitting in a barn, sitting in a garage, sitting in a van, sitting in another garage, soon I will have more of it sitting in yet another garage...
    but I'm great with Photoshop. Anyone want to see pics of a dusty Seca on the moon?
    That's a great photo, Bruce. Looks like a Viagra ad, or something.
    "We went for a ride on the beach, but then it got too hard." (or do i mean to say difficult?)

    I challenge you to take a pic by the real Haystack Rock (no hints as to which one it is). I also challenge you to buy a bowl of chowder from Mo's, and deliver it to my doorstep within 24 hours. You will be compensated. No cheating. It has to be from the original location (though I will settle for a clam strip basket from just about anywhere).

    thanks matti, no photoshopping allowed, although that would be funny to see a dusty seca on the moon. k-moe, no dice buddy. I don't know which one is the "real" one and I don't have your address. but you can order frozen chowder base from mo's and have it shipped directly to you. I may do that for myself as I do likes me some clam chowder. tcoop, great pics man! they don't have to be xj bikes, but they should be yours and you should have ridden them to the location for the pics.

    also, everyone, please provide details of the location in your pics.

    just for yuks and giggles here is a shot of my maxim at hurricane ridge in the north Olympic mountains on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state.

    Mo's clam chowder or clam strip basket ....... I just had to see that near lunch time. Yea but Mo's Newport and Pacific city Haystack are too far apart to keep hot.

    Jeez, Bruce, that's another really good photo. Super clean, great detail at all depths, a well framed panorama... What camera/lens are you using? Please don't say that's your phone or I'm ditching all my cameras and buying whatever you've got!

    A professional photographer friend of mine has started using her iPhone 6 during shoots. It has a damned fine camera in it; nearly as good as my Cannon G10 is for portrait work.

    sorry matti, it's my galaxy s6. it has a 16mp camera that shoots 5312x2988 pixels. I wish the cellular part of the phone worked as well as the camera. it would be a truly amazing device if it did.

    That's some pretty amazing technology.
    Member Biggs also uses his cell phone for a lot of his gorgeous pics . . . . I might have to get one of those new fangled gadgets.

    I bought a 48 dollar phone at SprawlMart. Got exactly what I paid for. Now the Chinese government is reading my thoughts. My Nikon P7000 takes sweet pictures, though!
    The lens makes all the difference in photos, and apparently Samsung has some really good lenses. I am amazed at the clarity of Bruce's images!
