BikerBabe's photos - Aircraft of World War II

BikerBabe · 07-25-2009, 08:29 PM

My turn to show you some of my photos.
*dryly* Surprisingly enough, there's photos of motorcycles in between.

I've always loved to run around with a camera, aiming it at all sorts of things and people - sometimes with okay results, other times not.

Anyway, here goes:

1.: Shot from the back seat of my buddy's motorcycle, Hove, Denmark - august 2006.

2.: BMW R 69 S, Touring Camp, Djursland, Denmark.

3.: Engine, BMW R 69 S.

4.: Detail, BMW R69 S.

5.: My biker buddy and his BMW K 100 RT, Jyllinge, Denmark, March 2007.

6.: Mercedes Benz - detail, Langelinie, Copenhagen, August 2006.

7.: Mercedes Benz, side view.

8.: Mercedes Benz, rear and harbour view.

9.: Unknown - air show at Flyvestation Værløse, 2002.

10.: DC-3, Værløse 2002.

11.: Spitfire. Værløse, 2002.

12.: Unknown.

13.: My best macro shot ever - so far.

Wow, I love the one with the sidecar. The sunset pic rocks. Nice!

Thanks, the old beemer belonged to our "neighbour" at the Touring Camp (campsite for motorcyclists only - car owners who shows up in cars just don't get in.

).
I talked with the owner and praised his bike to the skies - he was a really sweet elderly gentleman, who just gently swept my praise aside - but you could tell he was proud of his restoration work on that motorcycle, and that he enjoyed the praise!

He was a really sweet guy.

And the sunset pic is also a fave of mine because it shows my best buddy and "brother" with his beloved motorcycle.
The result surprised med because I shot almost straight at the sun, but the pic didn't burn out in the light areas.
O happy surprise.

Thanks Max.

As soon as I get one of my buddies to shoot one that don't make me look like a total moron.

Seriously, I'll see if I can dig one up that isn't too bad - for the members mug shot gallery.

I always look terrible in photographs, baggy eyes, wrinkled...

...hang on.. I am!

Perhaps if I bought a more expensive camera I'd look better..

Hi Evan and thanks.

The sunset's one of my absolute faves of my buddy, and I count that as one of my best shots of him and his bike.

You've got to watch out for those sunsets, they can be a real menace!

Hi Les, and thanks.

*broad happy, slightly proud smile*

I usually re-work my photos in Photoshop, so that they get balanced and nice to look at. I'm glad to hear that the effort isn't wasted.

The funny thing is - my biker buddy and I went on an early spring ride together.
We made a stop, and as usual I dug out the camera and went hunting for something to point the camera at.
I spotted the tiny flowers and suddenly there was this little ladybird bug making her way across one of the little yellow flowers.
I shot a series of images of her, and suddenly Mr. Ladybird comes along.
Bang! *sings*...love is in the air...everywhere you look around...

Now, you can be the best photographer in the world, and you can shoot some truly great pictures - but if luck doesn't pokes it's beautiful head out at you now and then, and smiles broadly at you, you don't get shots like that.
And yes, I count myself very lucky that Mr. Ladybird felt amorous that day.
