Motorcycle Photography...Post your best!

ADKbeemer · 12-10-2003, 05:56 AM

Hey, with all this crappy weather and the bike in the garage for the winter I'm already thinking ahead to spring. I really want to try to do some photography of motorcycles "in motion" on the road and maybe some track action as well.

I've taken a few from the bike and some typical scenic shots with the bike, but not made a serious effort to date to set up in a popular curve somewhere and fire away!

I have a Olympus digital camera/tripod and would like some tips from some of the more experienced photogs on the board on camera settings and positioning.......

and why not post some of your best so we can see your work!

Thanks!

PS - at least the skiing is great!
