Ducati Desmosedici Studio Shoot

It has been a while since I have posted here, went through some horrible weather here in the Northwest and combined with a new job, I have been out for a while. But I am back in it now! Here is my recent shoot with the rare Ducati Desmosedici, an $80k street legal MotoGP bike A studio was rented out for the Northwest Ducati club and I photographed five other bikes. I chose just to post this one as of now. Enjoy!

Great work. But i don't like the reflections, too much of them...

There are a fair amt of reflections. I really like the reflection in #5. Pretty sweet. It looks like a catfish from the front.
that is one sexy bike.

I know about the reflections, they were killing me. I did not have access to huge softboxes to cover the entire bike. I wish I would have. But I had to make due with what I had. It definently is a very mean bike.

Thank God for the Desmosedici. Great Shots!

very vibrant red. Good work

thanks! the paint on the bike was incedible... well everything about it was incredible.

These look OK. Better would have been if you put the light on some flats instead of directly on the bike.

Love this bike. I think the guy who owns GO4IT Racing here in CO owns one. I cant imagine spending 80k on a bike though! Nice photos though man.

Could you expand on this? I do not know what you mean.

I know, its crazy! They guy who owns it is a great guy though. Thanks for the compliment.

Cars & bikes are curved mirrors &, except for metallic paint, direct light on them doesn't work well.
Direct light means bright, "hot" & blown reflections. I see about 9 in the first shot. Imagine that the sky in this MOVE YOUR FEET! is the walls, or moving flats, in a studio. It's a broad light. Put that sort of light on the studio walls & you get a broader, softer light reflecting in the car.
In #2, the walls here in the driveway could be a flat in the studio:
2007 Chevy HHR

See the car tips in my Sig, too.

fantastic shots, one of the few bikes that I like!
nice details also, well caputred

Its the first tiime I ve used the word "Lust" on this forum, but Yes , I lust for that bike.......Nicely done!!

Be nice to get a polariser on there and cut the reflections and give some nice deep reds...
