I've done a fair bit of light painting on cars now and i've been keen to try something different, but haven't had a subject until last weekend when the chance came up to do a couple of motorcycles while i was up in Brisbane.

Here's some of the results...

These are great Adam... I quite like #2 then #1...

I haven't tried this technique, and must... It seems to produce great results.

Nice shots - just need to have a sound bite of the Duke on full throttle attached to the images.

Nice work Adam. The shots of the gsxr seem to be a bit distorted which I imagine is from the shot focal length.

What was your technique in firing the flash. I have been asked to shoot a car and thught I might try some light painting.

I'd say you're right. I use the Canon 10-22mm.

I've never tried it with a flash, but i've seen it done. I use a continuous light source. The flash shots i saw were just done my pressing the test fire button on the flash at various spots around the subject.

I did more of them on the same weekend. The location proved difficult to work with.

Thanks Adam, I will have to give it a go with the bike and the car, and maybe the lawnmower. :idea:
