Hey guys, I"m about to shoot a motorcycle (harley fatboy).
The owner want it to be direct sunlight because he really wants to show off all the chrome he has on it.

He really wants a shot of the whole bike so that he can blow it up and have it but I want to do a little bit more artistic shot of it to show him as well.

The only lens I will be using is a 70-200 f/4 L, not my ideal lens for the situation but it is all I have to work with.

Any suggestions would be great thanks!

Scott

Thanks, but I just went along with it and I am happy with my results. But in the future if I have more time before the shoot I will look here more deeply.
