I currently own 1 car and 1 bike, I recently sold another bike (Suzuki GS500F)

Here is my newest purchase and pride and joy...

2011 Triumph Daytona 675R

Bike after about 15 KM. Had to wait 3 months after I ordered it before I finally got to ride it and I have wanted one ever since they announced its release in October/November 2010...

My car is a Black 1999 BMW E46 318i...

I like the BMW I think they have great lines the 1.9L engine is not big enough... My bike produces 40 more HP but it will get you from a to b...

Arrg. must. stay. on. topic. *no I can't!* Yes, shooting in raw is definitely a good start... but it won't help the composition either :(
Remember kids... with few exceptions pictures of vehicles should be taken such that the vehicle points into the frame of the picture.... not out of it. :)
You go steal that camera Punkal! :P

No need to stay on topic Killrob...

I need to take more pics anyway I just realized I now have fitted a rear seat cowl and the rear pegs have been removed so it looks even more sexy now...

I know a little about framing a shot, how you break the shot up into thirds (sort of like this #), having the subject on the lines and not in the centre and obviously having it point in its usual direction of travel. Its amazing the difference that makes.

I finally got the high quality photos from the guy that took them so I have added 2 for you guys (size reduced a little) to have a look at. I have also added a photo of myself giving the bike a quick once over.

Enjoy
