Photographing Motorcycles requires the use of a Specific Type of Camera
With a high-speed camera, you don’t have to sacrifice focus reliability or resolution for speed.
The best camera is one with a high FPS (frames-per-second). Cameras with low-light capabilities are vital for indoor operations. At higher ISO settings, these cameras produce less noise and have improved focusing.
Higher megapixel cameras typically provide images with a lot more fine detail. Depending on how the final image comes out, paying attention to this particular nuance can make all the difference. Accordingly, a photograph’s file size will increase as the number of pixels it contains increases. A big SD or compact flash card is a smart option to consider. Motorcycle photography is commonly done using DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
Tips for motorbike photography
Using high shutter speeds
A misnomer, to say the least, is that we use the term “still” photography. There are many different frames of time in our exposures as photographers. Higher shutter speeds reduce the time in the photograph, making it appear more motionless and calm.
Photographic talent is put to use when the subject’s look is changed. It is possible to capture consistently crisp photographs of motorcycles by shooting everything at 1/2000 of a second if there is adequate light in the scene.
They’d be really dull, sadly.
All of a sudden, the energy that is one of the motorcycles’ most compelling features would be absent. So, the challenge – and reward – of photographing bicycles is mastering the delicate balance between motion and stillness within the frame.
Distract attention from the action
For pan shots, the challenges are different. You’re trying to keep the motorcycle in focus while blurring the background and the bike’s moving parts. Reduce the shutter speed to accomplish this. As a result, you must pan the camera in order to keep the bike in the exact same position as it moves across the frame. This is a simple theory, but it is maddeningly difficult in practice.
Perspective and Composition
A professional photographer has a better understanding of composition and perspective than a hobbyist. Make sure you showcase the bike in the best light possible!
Grab a pair of knee pads and get your feet on the floor. Squatting down or dropping to your knees is a common method of photographing your motorcycle. Shoot from the bike’s point of view as if it had eyes.
Be a reflection of the bike’s personality
When it comes to the personalities of motorcycles, there’s no doubt that they are unique.
As a result, you’ll want to concentrate on capturing the uniqueness of each individual motorcycle!
Up Close and Personal
Make sure to zoom!
The rubber on both ends of a motorcycle does not have to be included in every photograph of a motorcycle. Take a picture of the rider or passenger’s facial expressions and try to capture the sense of adventure that comes with it. The bike may merely be a faint background in this photo.
In other words, if you’re looking for a wide-open vista, think about “negative space” and give more prominence to the sky, mountains, and water in your image.
Avoid putting your bike, rider, or group in the center of every photograph. Off-centering the subject in a photograph always results in a more interesting image. You may get a sense of where you’re going by focusing on the bike, but then taking a step back and observing the scenery.
Motorcycle photoshoot posing
When you pose next to your motorcycle for a picture, you’re attempting to appear cool or snazzy. Look natural rather than overdone by not wearing ridiculous attire. This will go over well with your social media followers.
Set up your pose on or just adjacent to where you’ll be sitting when you’re done.
The seat of your motorcycle might be the section of your bike with the least aesthetic appeal, but it offers the best view of yourself and your bike.
Professional advice is available
Make sure to ask your photographer for help if you’re unsure of how to pose with a motorcycle.
Take a group photo
Rather than posing stiffly for your next group photo, go for a more casual look. Some of you will be able to ride the bikes, while others will be able to stand. Soft, shadow-free, and squinting-free lighting is perfect for humans. Overcast is the best.
Use a flash to balance out the tones if you’re shooting in the sun and getting black shadows.
If you see that everyone in your group is squinting and blinking excessively, suggest that they put on sunglasses. Take as many pictures as possible, as this improves the likelihood that you’ll get one with everyone looking their best.
