Post your CE 04 pics

I took this photo for a few friends/co-workers, while on an impromptu trip of about 160 miles/290 km. The yellow bag is one of two paniers I have for my bicycles, which I lashed together with two belts, and then slung over the rear of the seat (I used the backrest/hump to prevent sliding; placed the belts on either side and sat on it). I also used the (white) backpack I have for cycling to carry my laptop and other items for this trip. The center trunk/crunk holds quite a lot of gear; pleasantly surprising. I I sold my last car three years ago, bought a second eBike, and I have since used those to commute most everywhere I need or want to go. Although... my CE04 has seen a lot of use since I purchased it last June (2024). I have a vast amount of cycling gear and clothing for riding in all four seasons in North Carolina (US), much of which are very useful with my newest eBike - my eMoto.

That blue is such a fantastic colour for the CE04 - very nice. If I had not found such a good deal on my dark gray bike, I would have ordered one in blue. It shows well in good sunlight; I hope you had this clear riding weather throughout the day, and not just when you took the photos.
 
Old power, new power..... Not the best picture of my new (to me) CE 04, will work on a better version. 1 week in and I've already had a red screen of death (RSOD) followed by a tortoise, both gone now but I can see this forum being useful :).

Even though the light is not highlighting your bike quite enough, it is still a very nice photo; the location is fantastic. Your power era contrast is nice.

Okay, here's the photo that @R4ggy put up, brightened up a bit. (I downloaded it, and then ran it through some HDR -- high dynamic range -- software, and then also tweaked the exposure somewhat.)

What do you think, better (or not)?

Better! I see that more as old/new power and new powered. Windmills are a thing again, didn’t ya know? Great photo…
 

Thanks @wspollack, a big improvement over my phone effort. The windmill is only 400 yards away from our home so I'll get the DSLR out and do something more arty/nobby when I've got time as I like the premise. Maybe a second one with a wind turbine and better gramma just for @korinthias :)​
