For a really good thing to happen, there are 2 main ingredients which are the right time, and the right place as this was highlighted by one of the bikers.. But then there is the 3rd element which is important too, that is the right people.
People that are welcoming to the idea of a stranger talking to them, sharing passions for common things like cars and bikes, and just taking some awesome shots easily. Thank you to all the awesome people in this world who appreciate communication with their fellow humans.
Back to topic, I took my monster of a lens the SIgma 150-600c and my Canon R6 to shoot some gorgeous new perspective shots that no mobile phone or wide lens can ever match. That blog is coming a bit later, so stay tuned. But it was quite at the end of the day where the good accident happened.
At the night time when heading back to my car, I noticed 3 awesome riders and their gorgeous bikes taking some shots of their already setup and ready bikes … It was pretty obvious what was coming next.
So I approached them and introduced myself and shared my Insta car page Cars & Shutter. This is a great way to grow your social media page organically and directly with your target audience.
And the results? Absolutely mind blowing in my own opinion. As expected, the lengthy barrel at 400 to 600 mm range provide such a beautiful view that nothing can quite match it. Beautiful bokehlicious and tasty looking shots that separate the subject from the background with ease and bring the focus entirely onto the bikes in this case. Look at the way the asphalt is faded and provides a gorgous line towards the bikes.
Editing Magic
There is not a single photo that comes out of the camera and you can say, OH YA, let’s print that ! That’s not how it works, as an artist you capture the basic raw image, then you fine tune the spices to your liking and every photographer has his or her own style
Mine? A variety of high contrast, low color, single color highlight, gorgeous shadow details, and anything I feel shows the “Feeling” during that moment of capture
Subjects
In the same scenery, using different crops can bring focus on a specific subject and tell the story of that subject isolated from others… This will bring focus on that subject only.
Big Gallery
Here is a variety of the shots I have edited and selected from a short few mins of shooting and this shows importance of having your gear ready in time. This was a pleasure to shoot and I hope the 3 .
