Photographing Motorcycles via BikeEXIF

If you dont read BikeEXIF, then stop reading this post right now. Go here: http://bikeexif.com and prepare to lose several hours.
Now that you're back, Chris has just published a fantastic post by photographer Jose Gallina of Jose Gallina Photography, specifically about photographing motorcycles.
There is no "OMGTHATSAMAZING" ideas, but it serves as a good starting point.

Nice looking site. Thanks for pointing it out.

I have never really attempted motorcycle photography as I am not big on studio shooting. I definitely love the whole abandoned building thing that everyone seems to do with auto-photography and I always mean to give it a shot.

 

After sites like http://www.archdaily.com/ and http://www.dezeen.com/, http://www.bikeexif.com/ and http://www.speedhunters.com/ are two of my favourites.

I don't have the time or money to travel, but these sites expose me to what is happening at a global level. Seeing a render of what a new museum designed by a 'starchitect' will look like or the newest build by a famous workshop is something I would not ordinarily be able to see. Equally, it is amazing to see what can be done on a 50sqm block in Japan then read a story documenting the a complete rebuild and customisation of an old bike or car in someone's shed.

Always a good way of brightening up my day and getting my brain to open up to new ways of thinking.

 

Best motorcycle site on the web, except for this one of course.

 

On the subject, anyone know a good broken build or the like for auto photography in or around canberra?

 

Good article. Personally I think the first step should always be "decide how you want your image to look". Waaaaaay too many people go shooting without even the faintest idea of how they want their image to turn out. At least if you have some kind of destination in mind, you can figure out the best way to get there.

And as always, once you know the rules, know how to break them
