Took some photo's of my friends and their bikes today. C & C welcomed as always.

I have a bunch more I could share, but these will do.

#2 and #5 are my favorites

[PhotosGuy]

#5 & 7 for me!

[bizkit642]

Love 1 and 2. 10-22?

[chrisuk]

I & 6 for me!

All great though.

Can you tell me what lens & settings were used for 1 & 6, and any editing you have done? I'd love to be able to take shots of my car like that but they never have the look of those shots.

Since the rolling shots seem to be popular...here are a few more...

May need to clean your sensor a little bit.

Thanks guys!

The lens for the still shots was a Tokina 11-16. For the rolling shots I was using the 28-135.

As far as settings for #1, I was @ 11mm, f/3.5, iso 160 (should have been 100 but forgot to change initially) and 1/800 for shutter speed. I was in the shade on a very sunny day. I use Lightroom 2 for my editing and have a preset to help me get my colors close to where I want. There is Vignetting, adjustments to clarity, vibrance and contrast, as well as a boost in blacks, fill light, recovery, and exposure.

Ya, I noticed that after the fact. I'm not sure if it's my sensor, or, if my lens had some crap on the outside. I took some pics when I got home, after I cleaned the glass and it looked good. The reason I think it was the lens is because I don't notice the dust spots with the Tokina shots, only on the 28-135s. Thanks for the advice tho, I appreciate it.

Nice rolling shots. I like the processing you've done on these. The Yamaha photographs nicely in all those settings 'cept I really wish that green door wasn't there on the GSXR shot.

[benfxtx]

Thanks for all the feedback, I appreciate it!

[Cole_Schmitt]

Great shots, SICK bikes!

[BIGTUFFGUY]

nice shots, i like your processing.

[ProjektSol]

ill take the black r6 anyday

[NamJunNah]

Love #1. Nice shots.

[dank ink]

Nice shots, love the r6. I have a silver 08. Filthy though, seeing that black one makes me want to go wash mine.

[kilr95ss]

Ah yes, the R1 in it's proper place, in front, is that Spies riding :lol:

[temp0]

[Pana]

I like the rollings...but the R6 scenic shots are friggin gnarly

[benfxtx]

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it!

[izthistaken]
