some strobist bicycle shots in the garage

Here's a couple of my bikes. Just fooling around today.

#5 is my favorite. Makes me want to go mountain biking...summer's here, gotta hit the trails!

nice work, I like #3

Now, excuse the moronic question, but how did you keep them standing? I don't see a jack...

Something between 4 & 5 works for me with less light on the crud in the background.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I used a stick to prop up the frame right at the rear dropout on the non-drive side, and used some little bolts as wheel chocks. I shopped out the stick.

Great Attempt. That said they are not bad at all. I just think if you thought about it and did it again, you would surpass this set. And these are great.

Thanks Frank. I agree totally.

I was working in really tight quarters (only had half the garage available - the roommate's old junker that doesn't start takes up the other half). With the makeshift barndoors I was using it was hard to get it just right. I kinda just said screw it and gave up.

The MTB wheels are I-9's w/ Stan's Flow rims.

I'm not a member of MMBA. I do lurk their boards though. Where do you ride?
I just usually go to Bloomer (closest) and Stoney.

No off-road this year other than some stuff on Hines. Maybury, Island Lake, Brighton, Poto. Raced Bloomer way back, shot race pics and played disco golf at Stoney. Never actually rode it.
