So a firend asked me if I had ever shot pictures of a motorcycle. I said not really but I would give it a try.

and this is what I ended up with.

I love the idea of the "reserved" letters.
I'd like to see more light so I can see the bike
I think you need to get down there with that bike.
Did you try out some close ups?

there needs to be a little more light hitting the bike. i like the comp with the lettering and where the bike is placed. the bike could be a bit brighter though.

I totally understand and there was a definate lack of color shooting a forest metallic green bike with 2 off camera flash heads and keeping the reflections under control.

I tried to up it a little but the asphalt just seemed to get more colorful and the lettering just stood out more.
