Figured I'd post these from monday. First time really shooting bikes and using my strobist one light setup with the sun. Would love to get some constructive feedback to work with.

The yamaha R6 is mine and the cbr belongs to a friend of mine.
All the shot's were done with one bare canon 540ez and some ebay triggers.

The 1st shot was done in a garage with one light high and to the right.

one 540ez bare about 45ish* to the right of the camera.

Single 540ez again from the left about the same height as the bike. with the sun from behind for rim lighting.

same setup as above just the lights on the opposite side.

I like the last two.

Try to shoot the cleaner side of the bike (generally right side) as you did in 1 & 4.

I'd rather see more room at the front of #1, & the light doesn't cover the whole wheel?
The "rules" for bikes are much the same for cars. See my Sig.
