Love the first two. The white balance seems to differ a little bit between the shots. Care to explain your setup?

[disneydork06]

very nice shots...but what's that thing covering the bottom Honda sign? just over the H...

[karissa_lynne]

frame sliders/cage covering the H.

the skys colors were really changing drastically in the few minutes i shot. as for the color of the bike, i had some difficutly getting the red tones i wanted. i adjusted the aperture for the bike very define line between over exposed and under.
and adjusted the shutter for the sky.
i used one strobe light, in different directions. canon 30d with the efs 17-55mm. 1/30th shutter and 11 aperture

critiqueee :]

Do you have additional strobes/flashes?

With motorbikes, 2-3 sources of light are optimal since using just 1 will create numerious shadows.

[Nates98cbr]

I love 5 except for the lens flare. Cool bike, im guessing the owner doesnt carve too many corners with those Shinko street slicks on there, and the massive chicken strips give it away too. hehe

[Travisj]

I really like 2 & 3. The shadows on 2 are a little much but not too bad. I'd clone out the 2 posts on 3 to the right of the bike. Aside from that not bad. If you ever get bored you can always come and shoot mine.....j/k Thanks for sharing.

[poah]

no 3 is the best attempt, for me you are too close to the bike and the ratio of flash to ambient does not work in those situations. the compositons of some of them are a bit off too particualrly no5 where landscape would ahve been a better choice than portriat and no6 has a silly angle to it.

because of the shadows with a bike consider doing multple exposures for different parts of the bike and blend them together which would have made no2 a really good shot

I think they are all great!!! Very well done..

first time to do outdoor shots with a light, OK, now try it without the light:

I like 1,2 and 7.

[gixxer_kidd]

1,2,3 are my favorite. the sky is nice. love the angle of 5 but the flare is a bit distracting. don't know if you were going for the flare but you can try flagging the flash next time. the angles on 6 and 7 are a little too extreme for me.

For your first time, it looks great. Just watch your shadows.

[Tee Why]

I think they all look pretty nice and the processing looks well done. I especially like the one with the flare.

[CorzyPhoto]

I like #5, it would be better without the lens flare..

[willy b]

2 and 3 for me hear! Nice work though:)

[CorzyPhoto]

I would've also tried some more distant shots with higher telefoto..

Looks like you might need new tires soon.
