Thank you. Iphone 15 camera is amazing. Photos can be taken into the sun yet the subject still has detail.

It is amazing that the camera can do that. So no modifications to the picture after?

I did fiddle with the adjustments in Lightroom on my ipad until the image captured the feeling of “being there”. Its hard not to overdo it!

The 15 captures details that would be just a black blob with my previous camera.

Back to SOHC content…. Here is another photo from the same ride, but the light was not as good. Straight out of camera:

Nice photos!
Todays phones have such good camera and always in the pocket.
Edit and correct a photo is quickly done too.

With the app Tapatalk easy to write a post on this forum, add photos while still out on the ride. Update at a food stop as one example. ;D

Nice pix.  The blossoms around here are falling off now.  We've had some wind and I made the mistake of leaving the shop door open.  Looks like it snowed in there.

I moved the K5 out from it's winter's nap storeroom last night, drained the 2 stroke oil out of the gas tank (winter pickling preventing rust) and the Marvel Mystery Oil from the carbs, put in fresh gas, cranked the starter until the oil light went out and switched to run and it fired up great as usual in the spring.
This afternoon I rode it to the local bike night and we had a great turnout for mid April here in NH. It was 65° here today but had a chilly north breeze and clouds moved in as the sun was going down so the ride home was brisk. It was well worth the ride.

Just woke up from hibernation. Took it out to the local forest for some nice ridge riding. Weather was perfect.

I have, but no luck with the CB. It's an old service road to a fire tower.
