Cold, windy, and a little rainy out there, and I got a flat. But it was a great ride :)

Thanks! It's a Kodak M883 which gets ok ratings, but I like the feature set and it's super small with a huge, bright LCD. I found out later that the default Auto setting uses too high of an ISO which makes the pictures too grainy. So I have set it to a fixed, lower ISO so hopefully the next set will be better.
Not really any post editing, just imported into iPhoto. Sometimes I adjust the levels to get better contrast range.
The last photo is a panorama shot stitched together by the camera. You set it in Panorama mode, take the first picture, then it takes a small rectangle on the right side and sets it in the left side of the screen, you move your camera right and line up the rectangle with the left side of the next shot. You do that 2 times and then it stitches the 3 photos together. The resulting full-size picture is 4192x1112 pixels. Pretty cool.
