My Bike Reshoot

Did a reshoot of my bike on 21 Aug.  Below are the pictures.  Didn’t wash my bike that day.  Hence, it is a little dirty.  Bet you cannot see it at this size.  Washed my bike today.  But am too tired to shoot it.  Maybe find 1 day go wash and polish in the day then dun ride my bike.   Shoot it at night when it is completely dry.  kekeke.

 

No Flash No flash was used for this shot.  Had to edit the photo to bring out the detail of the bike as it was underexposed due to the brighter BG.  Need to fill flash if I do not wish to edit the picture.

 

method 1 This shot was taken with aperture at F22 and 30Sec shutter.  I simply just walk to the bike and the flash at will.  The result is some BG shown in the picture.  This is not the result that I am looking for.

 

method 2 This picture is taken with he Function of my D700.  Multiple shot with no auto gain.  Had to walk to and fro to change the position of the flash and wait for the shutter to trigger.  The result is total elimination of the BG and only the bike and floor is visible.  This is more like the result I wanted.   

I also had to fire the flash from the top back of the bike aiming at the seats to separate it from the BG.  This is a bit like rim lighting.  If not, you will not be able to see where the seat is.
