My inseam is too short to be able to safely handle one of those. I lusted for a Beemer but those Germans must have long legs. So, I rode Japanese bikes.

It's a Harley-Davidson FLHTCI aka Electraglide Classic. The owner added a few custom parts, as most Harley owners do. It takes one to know one.

Actually, I metered on the fuel tank. I felt that on a day with harsh sunlight (which we all know is never ideal) I

was concerned with 18% reflectance. You can easily see on the door frame blown highlights, but at least in my

opinion at a hopefully acceptable level. Have you spotted my one mistake? The rider's nose is right on the door

frame assembly. Not a professional grade effort. What the heck, I mean with subjects like these, who looks at

door frames and noses? :))

Thanks for the question.

Tony

We all understand about 18% reflectance so why spot meter a totally black fuel tank?? Hence the blown highlights. The nose on the door frame doesn't trouble me as much as photographing from the rear and including the three trash receptacles.

You are very correct sir. The receptacles are out of place, but at the time, he was sort of in a rush so I did not

wish to attempt to jockey him around as if I were paying him to pose for me. The totally black fuel tank I felt was

a good compass (if you will) given the fact this is a beach scene which had a great deal of atmospheric haze which

I still needed to adjust in post. Shooting from the rear was I felt, the best composition available.

Again, many thanks for your input. Greatly appreciated. :))
