My Motorcycle Shots

[Dieselboy]

Hi, new here. Wanted to share some photos of my bike. Nikon D40 18-55 and 55-200mmVR nikkor lenses.

Nice photos.
On the first one, you should be riding on it and take 2 shots. One with and one without you and do a similar effect.

did you use 2 separate exposures or a ending flash?

 

[Dieselboy]

Ending flash.

 

[Opher]

thought so. Nicely done. The only thing that bugs me is the tree reflection in the top right.

Nice shots man!

Wow! That's the nicest bike I have ever seen!

The first one is great because it really shows the details and shape of the bike. The last one looks sweet in that urban environment but I think if you panned right and placed the bike on the left side of the frame , the picture would look even better.

Sort of like this?

Dieselboy will you explain to me how you took your first shot in this series? Step by step in detail? THANKS! It looks awesome!

I have a ZX10R and I would love to experiment with this lighting technique!

Basically built a hood around my dewalt light and set the camera for an 8 sec exposure. Fired the light in bursts around the bike, then ran behind it and fired it at myself. You can kind of see it in my hands.

i think it looks bad ass. #3 would be my favorite if the nose of the bike was pointed towards the camera at a angle. i like the colors too, its dark and gives off that "this****ishot.com" haha

I would love to see number 3 cropped down so the bike is in the rule of thirds.. like Johnny L said..
