Okay, let me make sure to clear all bases in this one. I'm just asking what you guys think of my photography chops, what suggestions you might have, or if you just like the picture. What I'm not looking for, your opinion on motorcycles, opinion on the rider, what octane gas he uses, the fact he's not wearing a helmet, etc etc.

I did this shoot for my friends brother. This is the first time I've done a rolling shoot like this. It's definitely a type of shoot that I like. The product speaks for itself.

the brightening or fading, whatever you call it in #3 doesn't work like it does in #4. My opinion, certainly no photography expert. I just like what I like

Other then that though, pics look good.

main difference in 3 and 4 is the filter...I doubled the effect in 4...
still up in the air.

Were you wearing a helmet? Were tied off in the vehicle you were shooting in?

They look good.

Well done Phil!

I'm working on that part right now.

Nice pics for your first time, Rolling shots are fun to play around with before and after processing.

I would use a fill flash for your next rolling shot It will brighten up the under parts of the bike and allow you to run a faster shutter speed but still keep the blurry back ground, That way your object what ever you may be shooting will be more likely to stay perfectly sharp.

Great shots tho!
what gear did you use for this?

Phooker · 10-05-2010, 11:06 PM

How exactly would I use fill flash while moving? I wasn't using a rig, just handheld Sony A350

B00stedGD · 10-05-2010, 11:12 PM

Just use an external flash and pivot the head towards the object, Fill flash Is just enough to brighten up the darker areas while out doors, I use It all the time In broad daylight when shooting cars with a strong glare from direct sun.

true...
I'm still happy with the outcome though. I can see where it would help though...

B00stedGD · 10-05-2010, 11:44 PM

Yeah Its just something to play around with, not something you have to use every time. Its kinda hard to hang out a window with the external flash and a descent lens lol.

B00stedGD · 10-05-2010, 11:49 PM

yeah I'm getting out of my Subaru STi and getting back Into the truck world hopefully a 08 LMM

should make those rolling shots alot easier to take.
