Amazing Motorcycle Pics Thread

Alex · February 19th, 2010, 09:25 PM

No, these aren't of ninjettes, but the pictures blew me away just the same. I ride with Frank occasionally, and he's a very talented rider, and simply crazy with his camera.

He rides onehanded, holding a mega-$ DSLR in one hand without any type of lanyard or any other mount, and just snaps away at speed. It's entertaining watching him keeping up with riders who are really trying to rail, while he's loping along with one hand on the bars dangling a camera off of the side of the bike without a care in the world.

Here's a link to the thread, and below are just a few of my favorites from it:

Betlog · February 19th, 2010, 09:46 PM

Wow!

Snake · February 20th, 2010, 06:05 AM

Those are some very awesome shots. Great camera work.

JokerSeven · February 20th, 2010, 07:35 AM

Simply amazing. I would love to ride somewhere that beautiful.

lilninja · February 20th, 2010, 08:25 AM

those are great shots!

Méké · February 20th, 2010, 10:26 AM

Just two words : Wonderful pics

ninjabrewer · February 20th, 2010, 10:50 AM

those are some fantastic shots and some beautiful scenery. I would love to ride in some of those areas.

ckholloway · February 20th, 2010, 11:00 AM

Great pics, I will play when I get to my laptop. I don't have any pics on this computer. I also have more then whats on my laptop on the computer at work that I can post Monday.

Grn99Kawi · February 20th, 2010, 11:53 AM

wow.. those are some sick shots.. Does he own all of those bikes?

Alex · February 20th, 2010, 11:54 AM

He rotates bikes pretty quickly. As far as I know, his current favorite ride is that black GSX-R1000 with touring bars & a large screen on it. But he's had that R1200GS and KTM Adventure pretty recently as well.

Ryosen11 · February 20th, 2010, 04:42 PM

Wow amazing pictures! Beautiful

Cedilla · February 22nd, 2010, 08:58 PM

Wow, it looks like he took those pictures in motorcycle heaven. Beautiful roads, and off road locations.

kevlarorc · February 22nd, 2010, 11:45 PM

I saw his thread over on ADVrider and man, he is freaking amazing with his camera.

ninjabadger · February 23rd, 2010, 03:48 AM

Rad pics. Does your friend have a special grip with the trigger on it so he can fire it left handed? The reason I ask is that camera shutter releases are right handed and other than him having some kind of crazy kung fu grip worked out so he can hit the release, I would have to imagine he's got some kind of gear for that. I'd be interested in what kind of rig he's got set up to take these pics at speed.

Alex · February 23rd, 2010, 07:52 AM

Interesting question! I'm not sure if he has anything funky on the camera to allow him to take shots with his left hand more easily. I'll take a look next time I see him on the road...

divingtigger · February 23rd, 2010, 08:56 AM

He might just have the camera upside down and then rotate the pics afterwards. I do that sometimes just to get a different angle from the flash....then again I don't take pics while riding or driving and mine never turn out that awesome.

Pictures are awesome, you can tell he is a professional

Jakester9500 · March 1st, 2010, 12:56 PM

Those are some great shots, thanks for the new background for my computer at work!

Sailariel · March 1st, 2010, 06:42 PM

Alex, Thanks for sharing. Those were wonderful.

A guy named Frank had taken a boat load of photographs while riding / of riding. Fantastic shots, it's enthralling.

Sorry if this has been posted, but even so it's worth it I think!

He uses a Canon 20D, 5D and 5DII, all very pricey professional cameras.

Those are amazing photos.

Awesome. *sigh* Can't even afford lenses for those cameras....

LazinCajun · May 19th, 2011, 05:18 PM

For the record, the model/brand of a camera doesn't mean any more to the quality of these photos than say, the brand of piano does to the quality of the music produced by it. In fact, it probably matters far less.

Good point and shoot digital cameras are really good these days

CC Cowboy · May 19th, 2011, 05:30 PM

6th gear, 65 mph @4500, you got to love a liter bike. Too bad the stink in the turns!

oroboros · May 19th, 2011, 05:48 PM

The world is your playground. I have honeymustard on my shirt...in two places.

You can get some awesome pics with the low end Nikon and Canon DSLR's too. Its more in the lenses than in the body.

Garbage lenses on a 3DX will still make garbage pictures. Put a high quality f/2 fisheye on a D60, and it can make the same pics the 3DX will.
