Some garage photos of my '04 Honda CBR1000RR

[OfTheWild]

Thought i'd post up some photos i shot wednesday night out in the shop. Im selling my bike and thought it would be nice to have some good photos before shes taken to a new home. Would love some input. I know right off the bat two things i wish i had done differently but i'll let you guys look first as "the artist is his own worst critic".

I know it can be tough in a garage, but I think a bit more seperation from background would look nice. Also, there's a bit of light fall off around the tires. Overall, I think they look great! Nice bike. I'm a fan of the RC51, but the 1000RR is just as cool.

Yup, agreed there... move it to the front of the garage and get some bigger light box for the fill cause theres not enough light at the bottom.

BTW this is with 2 lights (top Alien Bees AB800 and front right Nikon SB80DX speed light) both in smaller wescott softboxes.

Fantastic shots of your bike, loved them. Have no negative feedback to offer really.

Just kinda thinking out loud here, but I'm not sure is more light is the answer. The bike is a difficult subject to light in that you have very reflective surfaces up top and highly light absorbent sufaces on bottom. I'm wondering how it would look with it lit from a low angle to fill the matte surfaces and allow the reflective paint to live in the falling light ring. Maybe a large reflector to fill the painted surfaces.

Nice photos of you bike. Garage's do tend to 'absorb' artificial light....all that space...all that darkness. But you've done a good job. I like the faint background composed of mechanical items and the component photographs work well.
