How to photograph a bike

[Gravity Aided]

When I photograph my Technium, I'll have to settle for a Bud Light Cottle and a hot dog.

My offering from when I sold my Focus recently.... http://izalcopro.weebly.com/photos-loads.html

11/10 ! for effort there on the photos. I would guess it sold pretty quick. Well done sir!

It did. pics were on an iPhone and the website took 10 mins to do, all for free. Bike sold on eBay and buyer very happy!

My feeling is that you need a nice scene that's worth a photo on its own. Sometimes this can be improved by putting a bike into it.

Then, afterwards, you always spot something annoying. This year, I took some pictures of a bike I'd just finished restoring. The bike was polished, and I spent a long time finding the right background, the right light and so on. Then, a while later, when I looked at the picture the only thing that jumped out at me was that while I was faffing around a bird had crapped on the front tyre.
