Sweet ride........but to be honest, it's little dark. Other than that, cool bike!

Nice bike. Try one of these two methods on it- LINK

Thanks for your comments!

I properly exposed was the CBR (snoot) and the rim lighting, fill light was 2 stops below. I was looking for some "drama".

Question: Now that I have stated what I was "going" for, do you guys feel this would still look better if I brightened up the rest of the bike?

Hmmm... I don't know. I think it's a preference thing but I would like to see it just a little brighter. Just a little is relative to the viewer. You did a great job on the image. Any tweaks from my suggestion might not suite someone else or yourself

it's definitely a preference. I would prefer to see a little more detail, but still keeping the highlights, etc. which are pretty well done.

I kinda like it the way it was.... i totally understand what you were going for.

Cool! Again, thanks for your suggestions. I mean no disrespect at all in my last post. I just wanted to convey to you and everyone else what I was trying to achieve. I have some shots where there is defiantly more fill light, but I did not like them as much and I am still working on them, so there may be one that comes seems to work its way out above this one.

Thanks!

Thank you.

I see where you were going too but, IMHO, I think you needed a much broader light source as the "hair light" to add more rim light to the top of the bike. Hard to do with that large a subject.

Great point! You know, I did use a "hair light", I think I should have brought up the power on it to match the other two sides of the rim lighting. Dang it!

For some reason, I just did not think about it other than to turn it on...
