My Triumph Daytona, in a beautiful setting.

It has been a while since I have shot any automobiles, but I think my work and skill have grown since my last time. The set doesn't hurt my cause either.

Let me know how I can improve these photos.

great background but it dominates the bike.... since its white. If it was a bright color like red or blue or yellow those shots would have been perfect.

Perfect setting for this bike_ period. I only wish the 1st didn't have the ceiling showing to the top right corner of the image. Maybe reshoot again? I'd also like to see a profile shot of the bike against this wall.

That might work. One shot w/normal CB & one w/tungsten. Then blend them together.

interesting effect, but I'm not really digging it.

I can see what you mean about it being "lost", but I don't really agree. While I was working on the photo I tried to make the background a different color, but I didn't like the way it turned out, so I left it intact.

That's a really sweet location, where is it?

Second shot is perfect.

The background and lighting in the first shot is way too overbearing and sort of ruins the overall picture.

Oklahoma City. It is a Rowing/Boating club.

How would you fix it then? Because I try to change it, and I keep coming back to the original. I have had the "overbearing" one as my wallpaper as soon as I finished it.

The pics are great, the background is fine to me.

I like the angle of the background in #1, with the angle of the bike in #2. Problem is the white blown areas compete with the white bike for attention. You need to be aware of that sort of thing when you're shooting & take two exposures so you have something to work with in PS.

I took 8 photos in that position 3 bracketed for an HDR background and several of the bike strobed from various angles. Number two is PP'd in that technique, where as number 1 is only two photos. I had to fix a shadow on the bike.

I was flipping through the Lightroom Presets when I saw a high key process that really caught my eye, so I rolled with it.

I like experimenting too, but every technique doesn't work for every situation.

It would help if the subject was in focus.

sorry not feeling them

They are both focused perfectly. Thanks.
