Bikes: Static Shots

[manav]

Here we go!

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii17/quickdraw46/887a8e54.jpg

I know you all are bored of this pic, more coming soon. But just to get the game going. Photos of Bikes only without riders. Day or night any cam anywhere!

[KrishnenduKes]

Duel Approved

First Game on!

Note to Members: Please post constructively.

[powerslave]

Is there some kind of rule thread or something? I need to know what we're dueling for?!

Here's my entry : Taken Dec 30th 2005. Its taken from my friend's borrowed A510.

Straight out of the cam, leaving it as is. I know, it's just begging to be PPed.

[KrishnenduKes]

Is there some kind of rule thread or something? I need to know what we're dueling for?!



The only thing at stake is your honour. And the rules are stated thus:

The game is simple and is a fight for honour! You start a thread with a theme and a photo, the other members will follow it up with their own photos on the same theme as their reply, and the game goes on...

Note: Only replies with photos and adhering to the original thread starter's theme will be approved.

[Psycho_McCrazy]

I knew you were going to post these. Nice shots. Shows that you are improving. But if you shoot more often, you will improve much faster. There is something not right about the WB of the 2nd photograph though.

[BANDHAV]

You are right about shooting more often, will surely try to work on this.

And its not the white balance in second pic, i have done that in pp.

Hi, I had uploaded the photos in the gallery and embedded the BB code with the post. I was seeing it perfectly so it didn't came to my notice that these photos may need moderator's approval for others to view. I am attaching the same here again with this post. Thanks for the reply.

[shutterbug]

Debangshu, Liked the second one the most. In the first one, you should have cleaned up the bike a bit.

Hitanshu, the first one would have been perfect with the bike on either side of the frame rather than the centre. But the background is breathtaking.
Love the Enticer in the Rann.

Praful, liked the first one. Bumblebee?

[hitanshu]

Yeah I know. Now i'd shoot better. But those were the times, and that was the bike available then :)

[synn]

That desert location has soooo much potential, Tau.

I urge you to go back there with a UWA and shoot pretty close to the rear wheel with a slight angle (Hope you're getting what I'm saying).

Very pleasing frame. However:

- A lot of shadow detail has been lost. Try working on the original file to bring it back.
- I see evidence of oversharpening. Don't hamfist the unsharp mask! :D
- The white balance is a tad on the warmer side.

All I got was the pic is a bit to over sharpened. :D Rest more or less went at Mach4 over my head :D

I'll try and post the original in the evening to get ideas.

Any ideas to stabilize the tripod, apart from upgrading it :D I'd left the cam on self timer for about 10secs and still the image is blurry.:(

Any ideas to stabilize the tripod, apart from upgrading it :D I'd left the cam on self timer for about 10secs and still the image is blurry.:(

Shadow detail as in: Dark areas are too dark. ;)

White balance as in: The image is a bit too reddish-yellow (Not talking of the bike's color. If there's a pure white segment in the image, it'd turn up as reddish-yellow).

As for the tripod: If it's a pan/tilt, hanging a weight from the central cross member helps with stability.

NowI got it, but sadly the orignal pic is gone, have this one only!!!! :(

Thats a cool idea, I'll hang a bottle of water I think that would be the easiest jugaad! :)

[shutterbug]

Praful, I am not sure a bottle of water would be a very good solution. It will just end up being less steady.

if u ask me,the bikes are turned towards the pulsar,admiring it,while if u look,the karizma is a distance apart.sort of out of the crowd..or a loner..:p

Just a bit dull, but now with the D200 you are really coming into your own. Me likes.
tripod?

[prafultripathy]

Titus, looks yumm! You plan on picking one of those 40Nm monsters up? :D

[shutterbug]

Tao, thanks. No tripod, showroom spotlights werent working and it was pretty cloudy that day in Cochin.
Praful, Would love to pick one up, (though I am more in love with the ol' CI500), but as of now pockets aint deep enough boss!

[hitanshu]

I have a theory.

There's something about those antique old school looks, those oodles of chrome, the sheer simplicity, the lack of aerodynamics that turns well reasoning men into unreasonable boys when confronted with the choice of purchasing one of these babies.

It is just simply unexplainable by any logic!

[shutterbug]

I get it you ain't too fond of it. Right, Tao?
What can I say, maybe its because of getting tired of bikes which have poverty when it comes to cubic capacity and are indulgent in plastic and acronyms! I don't think RE or its products are excellent, but there's not much of an alternative in our nation.
But then if you want some logic, sheer torque and comfort.Good for lazy guys like me!
Enough OT, he he!
By the way the shot is SOOC.

This is such a lovely shot! Love it:)

A little PP would really make this pop!

[hitanshu]

I want real cubes. I want horses, well fed arabian horses. 500 cubes giving me 28 measly horses on a almost 200kg frame - no way. Give me an old decently maintained 400cc Jap and I'll run circles around such bikes anyday!

I admire the styling no doubt. My problem is that bullet as a bike sells for reasons other than the performance. its a crying shame they don't improve things - or even make the base package stable (how about the innumerable sprag clutch issues in 500LB?)

[shutterbug]

Vicky, Thank you!!! Why I havent done PP:
1. i am not too good at it.
2. i dont have PS at the moment. Had to uninstall for certain reasons, and now I cant find the set up file.

Tao, I agree with you on almost all counts. But the problem is- you dont have an option! We dont have 400cc bikes selling here! All we have now is a 3 lac 250cc twin, which is out of reach for many.
Moreover, I dont see the Bullet as a bike to run circles around anything! Relaxed riding, thats it.
Reliability part, yes there are lots of issues( I still dont have one, living my good ol Pulsar 180) inc sprag clutch issue on LB500, oil leaks on CI 350 etc, but things have improved.
Its quite the opposite of the RTR180 ad for me, "Why do I race?", you dont want to race with anyone, nor does anyone to pick on you either, you just mind your business and cruise along on this motorcycle.

Hmm! Food for thought.

Merged together or long exposure and you fired all three flashes during the exposure?

[hitanshu]

dada,

then why did you take multiple shots n merge?

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

my apologies for wrong information.

I have only "one" single off camera flash.the flash is a Honeywell Strobonar 100 from my friend.

since i have a single flash in my hand which has zero manual controls(ie no 1/32 1/16 etc)the flash outputs full power boom.so my options are to play with the shutter aperture ISO etc.
that is the reason 3 individual shots where one shot shot fired from left then right then from behind bike and then merged together.

recently i got one more flash. a vivitar 283 from my friend.initial testing showed that the vivitar is putting more power than the honeywell.

both the flashes need to be actually manually triggered.no radio no sound nothing.so its a different world altogether.

Anvancy

[powerslave]

You do know that a full power setting managed by changing aperture/ss isn't the same as changing the flash power right? It's not just about exposure anymore.. it's about lighting!

know it.and the power makes hell impact.unfortunately i dont have that luxury.
so i think that leaves me with two options.
1.diffusion.
2.relative distance.

can you or the other esteemed persons provide tips for this amateur on how to improve it?

Anvancy

[powerslave]

Without another light source, it is going to be all hacky workarounds. You could try light painting. Choose darker settings + long exposures + lighting up your subject by literally walking around it while letting the surroundings gather light from the long exposure.

Diffusion is only going to reduce the already weak(?) flash's power, but yeah, diffusion is the way to go. Try the umbrella style flash from a closer distance.

Something like

(BIKE) (flash pointing away from bike)(white paper/board slightly away from the flash unit) (Camera somewhere on this side hiding the flash and the paper).

The best part is experimentation. I have been holding out on buying more than one flash for some time now, but I should be diving off that cliff soon.

http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/ is obviously your best friend today. :D

the flash is relatively weak in front of the vivitar.but its a good one for portraits.

initial testing did show that this can work as a nice filler.

Guys, please post polite & constructive criticism, about this image... (like how could I have shot it better) :)

First and foremost, let me tell you that for a phone camera, this is pretty good.

Now lets get to the critique part.

1. Change the framing. Lots can be done in such a situation. Railway tracks provide umpteen possibilities. But use them to enhance your photo!

2. Change the time of the day. The light out there is HORRIBLE!

3. Change the EV bias of your camera from +.30 to -.30; you will get better colour saturation.

4. Also recommended to set your settings in your camera from sRGB to AdobeRGB.

5. Did I say play around more with the framing? There is so much you can do with railway tracks. If I had railway tracks in my vicinity, I would spend a lot of my waking hours there! :)

@Inder: Nice. :) I liked the title too.

[debangshu]

Might not be to everyone's taste....


I loved it! the feel, the treatment just loved it.

Inder - lovely, but i'd like a bit more sharpness and some cropping on the right.

Without a clearguideline, I'd post this:

Thanks Sirjee.. :)

Regarding the sharpness part..There wasnt much of natural lighting that time..it may be bcoz of that. :o

Cropping the pic might result in just leaving the bike/rider in the..which wont give it a landscape photo feel..this is what i had thought while framing this pic. :)

I know the bottom looks a bit too tightly framed...:( Maybe would have been better if there was a lil' more space in the bottom...:o

[roschmann27]

super shot bro!

[Aryan]

@Suvo: Nice colors. :)

@Ken Da: What sharpness! That 85mm f1.8 lens is superb. I NEED to try it on my 1.6x body; it would be perfect for a nice portrait shoot! ;) And nice bike too!

@Neel: A good environmental shot; works for me! :)

[shutterbug]

Ken da, nice shot but the concrete gloom didnt really come through! A desat of background?

You know I am not a huge fan of selective colouring! I try to be as close to realism as possible. However if I am doing a product shoot, then it is a different story, wherein your suggestion holds water.

Ken da, I do understand that. Maybe an unpainted building/under contruction building would have helped. But you have captured the aggressiveness of the bike. Same question as anvay, Yours?

[KrishnenduKes]

I wish!

Pity it is not! :)

Not bad. Nice logo and everything. However, the car in the BG, the pile of mud are big distractions. Just crop them out and you will see the difference it makes to the photograph. Just try it...

i thought u had done a photoshoot with it.
