More for comedy value 'Paulodd' was dieing for a piss, so just stopped and got off. I'm standing in the middle of the road, 1 piece leathers and lid, laughing my ass off.

I find it funny that he's looking at the JCB while taking a leak.

I like the pics but I think they needed to be in focus a bit more.

The top one of the Bandit and R6 in line is pretty cool Thumbs Up

Does anyone else read the stickers on the urinals? You know the bit on the pipes?

I tend to look where I'm aiming.

And that's about as good as my focussing gets, tisn't a good camera by any means.

Your camera will have a minimal focal length (prob about 30cm) anything shorter than that will not focus. hence why some of yours might be a bit out of focus. turning on the macro mode will allow you to focus much closer, and throw the background out of focus as well.

_________________________________________________
Nearly all digital cameras have a macro mode. You'll know if yours has one because one of the menu buttons will have an icon of a flower on it. This switches the camera into a special close focus mode and many allow you to get less than 10cm from the subject. With some cameras from makers such as Nikon and Ricoh you can get as close as 2cm from the subject which allows incredible closes ups of tiny subjects such as insects, but the macro mode is, for example, also really useful for making a photographic record of your jewellery for insurance purposes and for creative close ups too.

The macro mode is usually on the menu button that also has an icon of two triangles that represents mountains (landscape mode) and sometimes MF (manual focus). You may have to press the button several times until the flower icon appears, either on the small top plate LCD or larger viewing LCD. Some cameras then automatically shift into a specific zone on the zoom lens so you may hear a whir as the zoom resets.

Macro mode is also good for taking pictures of spark plugs Smile

Very useful, you can even see the bits of melted piston rings on the tip.
