Was impressed with Wink's work on his mates lightpainted Holden so I thought i'd try it out. I got very average results on my car, but it's a piece of junk. So I had a go at it on my bike.

The toughest part of this was removing the chair I used to prop it up. You can notice the spokes on the rear wheel are a little wack. Think i'll try something else to stand it up next time.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the sky? It probably needs a little bit of work.

C&C would be appreciated!

Nicely done!

I would select the sky and change the hue to either a dark red or a dark blue as this will contrast the green. You might be able to use a rope to tie the bike from two sides to prop it up. Less PP that way.

Looks very good

Can you tell us your set up and exif please.

Many thanks
Steve

Looks good!

I try to take the shots so the sky is blocked out by something, a building, land mass etc.

I'm keen to try a Harley. I think all the chrome parts could make for a challenge.

I like it, and I think the sky in the deep red works, keeps the image interesting, if you go to a blue sky (a DARK blue) it becomes a bit too ordinary. Try it and see what you think. i would also suggest bringing in a bit more red out of the sky

Maybe crop the sky out and see how that looks.The bike is excellent.

Thanks surenj - I'll have a crack at going dark red / blue and see how it goes. I was heading towards the red but maybe a completely different colour might be a good look. I also trialled a broom setup that seems to work

Thanks - using a reasonably powerful maglite with a white sock on the end to diffuse.
At work, so these are what I remember.

I had a quick go at blacking out all the background...



Hope you don't mind.

Yeah I reckon it looks great... Advertisment style.

A few variations as per aim54x's suggestions. Not bad, but I reckon the black. Anyone else?
