Photographing My R3T

[bobmielke]

Since one of my hobbies is photography I'm always looking for better lighting, a different angle, more reflections off the pitch black paint or chrome. Here's another capture, while the bike is still clean & shiny. 1250 miles on the Beast now.

That's a very cool effect. My first thought was that the bike was a 'model' set in the background. Maybe it's just my eyes. Very nice pic either way.

I actually went for that "isolated" effect you mentioned. It draws the eyes to the bike no matter where you look in the photo. Who wants to see parked cars anyway.

Man your good. Its not too often I stare at a picture that long but this one just draws you in!!! It does look like a model at first, then you look at it and the detail around it is awesome. If you pan farther into the background you can start to see the blur effect. Once again I am impressed !!!

Looks good. So what setting is that on my point and shoot digital camera?

I really wanted to ask the same question but was just too embarrassed. Good to see some people have no shame...

Bob,

Is that the taller (optional) windshield? Is the solo rack "quick detach"? I ask because I have the solo seat with rider backrest, but also switch to the stock seat from time to time so the wife can ride. I got a passenger backrest for her that's "quick detach".

I don't believe the rack is a quick disconnect variety. The Windshield is the standard model & is too short for me. The wind hits me in the upper chest. My job situation dictates I must live with everything just as it is otherwise I'd replace the seat & windscreen and add a Brakeman throttle lock cruise control.

You can achieve the effect with a wide open lens, ie. 1.8 or more creating a very shallow focus area known as depth of field. I used Photoshop Elements 7.0 to do the same thing after the shot.

Bob, I envoy all the natural beauty you have in the north west, I have traveled there several times with never enough time to see and photograph as much as I would like. It's a close tie to which is my first love, my Rocket III or my Nikon D1X.
