Had a long weekend and decided to catch up on some photography projects. I threw the new ones in with some that have been posted before....

No reason other than I wanted to share....

I don't know whether I'm more jealous of the bikes or the photography. As I've said before, the Pinarello is one of my favorites on this board.

What camera/lens/flash? And more importantly, how do you keep the bikes from falling over?

Canon 20D with studio lights. Standard lens that came with the camera. Bikes not leaning against the wall are propped up by a small T-stand that hooks into the center of the crank on the rear side. It then gets photoshopped out.

Wow...

Great shots, and great bikes. Are they all yours? That Fuso is sweet. It takes me back; I had a teammate who rode one of those back in the mid-late 80s.

I'm throwing mine in the UHaul and coming up for a portrait sitting.

Nice, nice photos.

You get them here and I'll shoot them. Of course, I think you'll need more than a U-Haul trailer. Maybe a semi....

We'll make a weekend of it and get a ride or 2 in as well.

And lunch at the Roadhouse and dinner at Jake's.

Nope..just a hobby. Though if there are any frame builders looking for some extensive work, I'd be happy to discuss a trade....

Sweet bikes and awesome shots. What wheelset is that on the Orca? Are those white spokes or just the flash off of silver spokes?

 

[Mike T.]

Very nice bikes and pics but you really screwed up on the tire valve positions on the Daccordi pic

 

[Ray Dockrey]

I love the Waterford. The picture is amazing and it looks very classy but with the wheels gives it a little touch of modern. Great pictures Rad.

Whenever I click on posts with your bikes I end up torturing myself. The pinarello and giordana are simply stunning.

 

[nick450hp]

That Pinarello and the Giordana made me lose it in my pants! Those are some very very impressive photos of some very amazing bikes! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

My fave paint scheme was on the Vetta. Not run-of -the-mill stuff. Good job on the pics. using a large overhead soft box with some other fill?

Correct. 2 kino flows with daylight tubes overhead and a white bounce card on the floor. The Vetta is the definite sleeper of the bunch. Every bit the equal to its more pedigreed brethren. I love that bike.

Thanks for the comments.

How bizarre...........

I was just thinking about your bike collection having seen one of your comments elsewhere, next thing i know you've saved me a search by reposting them all. You're slightly similar to me in as much as you seem to match retro and modern components - great collection.

The chrome Pinarello and the Daccordi are my fav, I also really like the Vetta and Fuso too - to be frank I really like them all.:thumbsup:
