And it was a good one.  I like how the pipes end in the first and last picture with the rear fender.  Very nice, well worth the effort.

I like it  cooldude cooldude

Is it wrong if I considered this "EYE CANDY"  Grin

Jerry, got to say that I don't get tired of looking at your fine ride.

I'll give you some more homework, try to find some type of brick building, industrial background or old type gas station with garage door.
Let the bike be the focus of the pic but without taking over the background or the other option is if you have a camera with a zoom lens and take the pic from some distance while focusing on the bike, it will somewhat blur the background with the bike being really clear.

Jack has the right idea as seen in his attached photos.  Make the bike the focal point in the picture.  When you get the right photo, frame that sucker and put it on the wall!

You can get pretty creative with iPhone camera. It even has filters in case you want to be artsy, fartsy. When taking the pix, be sure to tap your finger on the part of the bike  (or area) you want to highlite. This is where the focus and light reading will then be taken.

BTW, Jacks idea was a great one.  cooldude Your bike looks a bit like my Indian. Will this bile be at the RTB Saturday? If so, I may ride the Chieftain instead of Valk and put them together.

I'd try the iPhone first.  If you want to be more serious about taking pictures, decent digital cameras are relatively cheap.  If you buy one, try to find one that has manual exposure setting.  That way you can adjust the "depth of field" to give the blurred background.  An 8mp or 10mp camera should be fine, unless you are going to blow up the picture to poster size, then get something with higher mp (mega pixel).

It will not, I am keeping it here in palmetto for a few more weeks, I want to make sure all possible bugs are worked out as it was torn down a good amount for the face lift.  So far I just had to re tighten the hand shifter.  It will be at the Nov 11th Valk get-together, also this will never have bags and it is more a short hop bike.
