Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Hi folks,

One bit of fallout from the calendar threads is that I notice we have a few semi-serious photography people on board. Anyone have any particular ideas on shooting bikes - static, not action shots, which would be completely different?

I had a bit of a play today when the spot I went to didn't have a view of the aircraft carrier I was chasing. Some reasonable shots with a bit of post processng, but nothing too exciting... And when I first got the bike I got a couple of reasonable ones.

So, any ideas? Other than get a prettier bike, like a Kwakka?

One thing I know I should think about more is parking the bike somewhere to the background is appropriate. After today, next time I will think about leaving the headlight on while shooting, and think about what I'm doing with helmets and luggage more!

A few of mine - note that my monitor is so fuzzy I can't really edit photos properly, so sorry if some of these are offensively bad! I have a new 20" iMac hopefully arriving tomorrow .













Yes - I've been having fun playing with low wide angles!

Cheers,

great shots there
yeh i enjoy taking photos of teh bike, liek to try new things so of the positions u get yourself into to take the shots are funny at times.... but all worth it if the shot turns out...

Nice pics


What kind of camera do you have?

Lisa

Ideas on shooting a bike huh

well close range i suppose a shotgun or a 45 semi auto if you like handguns
and long range maybe a 308 long barrel

Camera is an EOS 10D - still quite capable even though the new 5D kind of puts it to shame. Most of those were with a 17-40/4 lens, my favourite bit of gear. It's fantastic!

I like the pic's Once we have layout sorted etc Photomike will be able to let ya know what we need from the QLD ladies if you would like to take their photos or if they want you too. Thanks heaps for that.

I don't think we'll have any shortage of volunteer photographers up here in Brisbane! And most of them are probably more likely to have enough time to do this justice, I am notorious for welching on KSRC events .

Very clear and defined photos you have produced, nicely done

No advice forthcoming from me, with perhaps the exception of the Kwakka and lose the top box and helmet as you mentioned, great shots.

my advice........ Paint yer GS orange

I was actually thinking orange with black tiger stripes!
