Husband's retirement gift

Shooting a motorcycle seemed like an easy task. Nope.First we had to find the space. With a huge snowstorm last night and today, of course we were stuck indoors. I blocked out the windows in the garage, because the light kept seeping through the thin back drop. I lit the bike with two soft boxes (hey...if anyone has a better way, I'm listening). We rolled the bike onto an old tablecloth so the ugly garage floor would disappear. Here is the result. All cc more than welcome. :roll:

Oh, wow! That was pretty clever! Some people just shut down when the weather is crappy. You, on the other hand...

Lucky man! That is a beautiful ride. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
It is a great ride. I hope to be able to ride it myself once I finish with hand surgery. By summertime I should be ready!

Ha. I'm sure it wouldn't go with your decor anyway, right? Thanks for looking.

Great images!! You did a great job with limited space and resources.
I have a question and suggestion
Did you have the garage lights on ? IM seeing a lot of lights reflected in the Fuel Tank in the close up.
Try using Thunder Gray or darker seamless for the background and the floor (one piece) to eliminate the sharp line between the "wall" and the floor.
It will take a wide seamless, if I remember correctly 140"

Great looking bike, good shots. The reflection of the cupboards, steps and photographer in the chrome on shot 2 is just a little off putting. Thats the mistake that I would have made also. :thumbup:
