New Photos I took of the bike yesterday if it works just copy & paste.

Its a nice bike, but the photo work is rubbish. Sorry for the harsh words, take it out of the back yard to a scenic location on a day when its not so sunny, get the camera lower and take time to frame things better. rather then use the auto setting, experiment with portrait to soften the background and if possible use a tripod, it makes so much difference. I'm looking forward to the next lot!

Very nice looking bike Paul. The seat and tank work well with the swept back Goldie, ace bars and rear sets, the whole bike gells together nicely, well done. Oh yes, here's two more photo tricks for Midge I found works well when taking bike shots. Always use the side stand rather than the centre stand as it drops the bike onto its suspension and therefore looks lower. Then also get the right low angle shot where you are in-line horizontally with the fins of the barrel, somehow getting the light to come through the fins highlights them and shows the barrel shape which really enhances the engine...This trick was often used on manufacturers brochures, It took a time before I spotted it..... have a go sometime.

I only took those on my Mobile phone as I don't have proper a digital camera Only A old 35m Pentax Film camera. Some very Good points raised though Midge I will try too take some with a proper digital camera as soon as I get one something ive been meaning to get round to for ages.
