Charity Ride
A very short time indeed after I bought the CB1100, and before I joined this estimable forum, I travelled south to go on a ride to raise money for children with Downs Syndrome. My day was about 600kms following this route. The route of the organised ride is here.

Clearly, as I hadn't joined the forum, I hadn't learned the Ferret's trick with one handed photography, but here's a photo of the CB at the start of the ride,

İmage

The organisers have just sent out a video (actually, it's mostly stills) of the day which can be seen here.

It can be hard if there isn't a strap or a bit of string to tie them on. Tongue

RE: Charity Ride
Nice pics and a very worthy cause also. We do two or more charity rides around here as well. The local cancer society puts on a good one in April with all proceeds going to the charity. Local businesses pay the overhead and contribute door prizes.

1 Cor 13:4-7 (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

When I first read this, I thought it was another "down under" upside down joke and played along. When I looked at my tablet this morning, I saw the top picture WAS upside down. It still appears right way up on my PC.

I thought about reposting it from the tablet and then realised the picture would almost certainly appear upside down on the PC. I don't understand it, so I'm going to leave it alone.

Its ok, that happened to me once too when I held my camera upside down, however in editing I flipped it over right side up.

Good cause Cormanus!

My poorly typed comment was made because I thought that YOU were going for the "down under" joke. LoL plus it was 3am or something.

It's sort of more interesting than that. I took the photo with my phone, so God knows which way is up or down. I use Picassa for organising photos on the PC and the picture was the right way up when I imported it into that. When I then uploaded it to Photobucket and liked to it from the Forum, it was still the right way up. Then I looked it on the tablet and it was the wrong way up.

If I embed a link here,

İmage

it looks the right way up to me on my PC.

If I put the link in, http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy160...d52613.jpg and then follow it the damned thing's upside down.

Got me stumped.

RE: Charity Ride
Whaaaaat happened? Now it's oriented correctly on my ipad...in both posts. Lol

Truth on taking pictures with a phone..i never know which way they are going to orient..but then again I have a stupid phone with a lousy camera and don't hardly take any pictures with it unless its an emergency.my kids all have the latest phones and their phone take almost camera quality pics. Amazing really.
