I used to love bikes rode one all my life but my missus decided I was getting too old and they were too dangerous sold mine 3 yrs ago to my nephew for 50 quid. He thought all his birthdays had come at once, it was a triumph trophy 900 I did love that bike and do miss it especially weather like we've been having recently (although I used to ride it all year) that said I don't miss climbing into my leathers putting my boots on and gloves every time I got on it.
I'm probably too soft to suffer the cold weather now being used to the cocoon of an air conditioned car for the last 3 yrs.
Oh to be young again.

Oh my...that's a 1/1 scale one isn't it ? Beautiful.

Turning out really nice Denise. :thumb2: Do you use coloured lighting for your shots...noticed some violet reflections on the clear visor and a hint of it on the bike body work.

Cheers,

Hi Richard, no coloured lighting was used in these shots as they were done outside on the garden table, but the visor did have a film on it that had a tint.

[rtfoe]

I see. If it was shot here in natural sunlight it would have been high contrast with sharp shadows. Outdoor photos look much better where you come from. Thanks

Cheers,
Richard

I like to think its my camera skills Richard

Of course it is Denise :smiling2: Lighting is just one part of the process.

I am not a bike person but from a build perspective this is stunning. You must be very pleased with the finish. Look forward to seeing your next build
