HOG 1, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

I have captured this Harley Davidson from a number of perspectives - this is the first one. I took this shot late afternoon (a PHWall tip).

The graffiti art in the background is located in St Peters, Sydney, where it is lawful to put artwork up on the back walls of houses in the laneways near the St Peters Railway Station.

Hi Graham,
Hard to get a bad angle on a Hog no matter what the light is, early, late or overhead.
Hmmm, think I'd like to have seen a bit more of the machine. The balance isn't right.
Too much at the bottom of frame and not enough visual interest to fill in the top. I keep wanting to tilt down to see more of the chrome work.
Better bring it over in person, then we can discuss the best angle to capture it.
While the Mouth is away, the boys can play.
Cheers
Pete

Hi Graham
Ignore Peter - this photo that zooms in works well. Good light and you've captured the shine beautifully. You don't own one yourself?
cheers
Ian

Hello Graham,
A very thoughtful composition focusing on the shining and sparkling engine which takes the sweet spot of the frame. Well done

Regards

G'Day Graham,
Many graceful and glimmering lines to this lovely hog as she cast some tranquil shadows on the grafittied walls.
The company might have gone out of business if it were not for the notiorious Hells Angles' gang that refused to ride anything but an American bike back in the late 60s early 70s.
Regards, Tom

Hi Graham, This is some mean machine you have here, several years ago I got my motor bike license for the sole reason of being able to own & ride one of these beasts but some how I got sidetracked & other things come into my life, I would like to say maybe one day but I would be only kidding myself. Nice one, I think the graffiti compliment it.
Regards
Santo
