I like to squat down to take the picture. This has sorta been touched on, and I can see it in some fo the photos. When you get lower than the bike, it makes it bigger and more badass IMO.

Default general photo tips

Look for a dramatic background.


Or no background.


Or use flash to diminish background.


Or control depth of field to diminish background.

Thanks, Schu.

That was taken using an old Nikon F3 manual focus film camera.

and don't forget (like I did)...wash the bike!!! With a lot of these higher res cameras, you can really pick up on this stuff, and for all of those chrome ****** out there...watch the angles (again) unless you want to see yourself taking the picture reflected in the chrome : )
