Nice...

Love how you can tell the difference between the near, and past, setting sun.

For those of you who like to take pics, notice how the trees have that nice golden glow in the first set of pics and seem to turn to almost black & white toward the end. That is the setting sun behind the photographer's back. Pic trick #1

You can get a bright and shiny kind of golden glow, harder and brighter, by doing the same thing within the first two hours of sun-up.

Get a decent digital camera. Put a big memory chip in it, set the resolution to it's highest and take as many pics as the thing will hold. Be creative... turn the camera sideways, get on the ground and shoot up at the bike, stand on a chair and shoot down on it, stand behind it and at every other angle. For every 10-15 pictures you take, you MIGHT... MIGHT, get one good one that you like. And don't be afraid to take strange pics... see the one of the front fender only? There is a nice uniqueness to that pic that you would never suspect but it is a great pic.

Oh, trick #2... take your laptop and dump the memory chip a couple times in the hour while you have the sun.

Enjoy.
