The Bike Shinjuku

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 29 January 2007 in Transportation.

It's not going to be a series. Just a last minute choice and thought now was the best time to use this image as yesterdays image was of 2 bikes.
Anyway, this ones for you Jerry.

Look forward to comments and any tips.
CheersDaz

@Jerry: No worries mate.

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

This is beautiful. Really fine. The backdrop compliments the bike superbly, The Shinjuku sign really stamping its urban authority over the image, but its all just wonderful window dressing for the main subject itself. Fantastic lighting, and you couldnt have composed this better. Stu's got a beast of a bike, he'll love this.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks mate. Better than yesterdays. Shinjuku is a pretty good place to walk around and grab some shots, you'll have to head up this way someday mate.

The angle of view that you have choice gives an idea of the power of this bike!

Took this from mini tamron tripod to get this angle.

Anne from White Rock, Canada

I don't know much about motor bikes but the photo of this one is great. Perfect detail and the composition makes it look BIG!

@Anne: Thanks Anne.
Angles can help us tell a story with our photo's.

Fred from Easton PA, United States

Great composition and a pretty nice ride too !

@Fred: Thanks Fred.

Colour blind from Tokyo, Japan

I remember this picture!!! You've framed it well. It would have been good to get in the whole back tyre though. THe processing is good too it gives the image a classic look.

@Colour blind: Yeah mate. That's when I showed you that location for night shots. Shame about the tyre but then again it's not one of my best shots that I brag about.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Ahh.....a sweet shot! Great angle to catch it from and lovely composition. As Duncs said, I love bikes and wish I had this one! I really like the way you've been playing around with the lighting and saturation in your recent posts. It's very effective Daz. Nicely done mate!

@Stu: Thanks mate.
Playing with lighting has been my big mission recently.
With some more practice I hope I get better but it sure does help with some of the images to make them more eye catching, definately a skill that needs to be perfected.
