What kind of camera do you use? I guess, you must be able to operate the shutter with the left hand, to keep the right hand at the throttle?

It's a point and shoot camera. I think this one is a Canon. My last one was a Sony, but it got a little damp on our trip to the Ozarks (yes, Cormanus, I know I owe a report on that trip). I just set it on auto-focus with no flash and just keep taking pictures. I think I took 45 or 50 shots for this 2 hour trip. Most were crap. Oh, and if the camera has an "action" mode. I use that. I keep the camera on a lanyard around my neck and slide it inside my jacket when i'm not using it. I am thinking of putting a piece of Velcro on the camera and on my jacket so that I can slap it on my chest for easier access (lanyard would still be around my neck). The cameras I have all shut off if not used for a bit, and turning it back on with gloved hands is sometimes tricky enough that I miss a shot or two.

I hope to get a GoPro (or equivilant) soon, but even if I do, I will still have my little point and shoot camera around my neck.

I like the last one the best, but it's a cool angle on all of them
Oh..by the way..just in case someone wondered...the the picture of my CB1100 with the arched opening in the background is not digitally tweaked except for cropping. I have no idea how the tank wound up looking that cool, almost purple, color. I suppose it was just the luck of the lighting there. I went to the "Infinite Number of Monkeys" school of photography.

What years were you there, EmptySea. Surely we must have met.

Well....I started there a little after digital photography came into the mainstream. I know it wasn't right away because there were a couple of years where I was as careful taking digital pictures as I had been with taking film pictures. For some reason, I just couldn't bring myself to just keep shooting. I have overcome that.
