Here are two shots from a shoot I had with a 2003 Ducati Monster 1000. This was my first time shooting a motorcycle and I think it went fairly well. I did not use my typical rig for this but it has the rig style look (hmmm what could it be??) Lets just say it was scary. Interested in what people think of the shots. Thanks and enjoy.

I like the first one a lot. The road markings work well as lead in lines drawing you into the picture. It also gives a good feeling of speed.

Yea I really wish I had my 17-40mm, after this shoot I have two halves of a 17-40mm. We did the moving ones before the stills.

The jpeg compression really detracts from the quality of the shots. All that time and effort to then have artifacting.

Spend the $3 a month and get a webhost, then you can back off on the compression and not have to attach files.

Then your shots can be shown for what they really are. Good work.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

After breaking a 17-40mm in half, all my funds are going to be going to a new one. Thanks for the tip though, I will do it in the future.

"rig" shots look great, so OK spill the beans now. You were laying in the back of a pickup truck going backwards? Shooting from another bike and then crashed (broken 17-40)? :)

Fantastic. I love the second one. It actually makes me a little dizzy looking at it. Great impression of motion.

Many rig shooters won't tell you what they did/do or shoe their rig. but it is easily found with a search or a google.

You assemble a "rig" that is attached to the vehicle with either magnets (car usually) or mechanical means. You shoot at speed with a good shutter drag and then you photoshop out the rig.

no rig in this one cosworth, I'll spill the beans on this one because, not everyone can just go build one. I had a rope attached to the back of the motorcycle and I was being towed by it on my skateboard while taking pictures. The axel of the truck on by board broke in half and the wheel flew off, stopping the board and letting the bike pullme through the air. From there I thought "tuck the camera!" I wasnt quite fast enough and the lens clipped the ground. The camera had not marks on it though. I used to be a professional downhill skateboarder but retired after a major injury. So I knew what I was doing, just a major equipment malfunction.
